Well this thread is way off tiki carving now, and my sister and I only posted a few of the non-debris, evolving shots (3 in fact), but here we go.

To carve yer very own tiki
Step 1-Contact a total stranger on another continent and ask for a full shot of the tiki you plan on trying to duplicate for a fellow tiki fan that bestowed kind words on you.
Step 2- Get to work. Draw a crummy sketch on the shorter than hoped for log (but the only one with the somewhat correct width to height dimensions)

Step 3- Get permission (by no verbal dissention) to take artistic liberties with the design of the tiki's derriere.

Step 4-Take evidence shot with dog, niece, tiki in progress, and troublemaking daughter.

It has away to go, but the body is now close to finished and the headdress is moving along.
