You guys are danged talented. I heard more Tiki images were being hollered for, so I wanted to add some of my own. This one is a stick shift knob that I sculpted out of clay, then cast in resin. The lantern was also sculpted out of clay, then cast in ceramic using a slip mold. It's about 7" high. At this point I am getting into carving Tikis out of wood, but I don't know a whole lot about finishes, weatherproofing, where to score palm logs, and stuff like that. Maybe some of you can help an inquisitive brother out. I have a few wood carvings but have not photographed them yet. Anywhoo, it's great to be here at Tiki Central!
