I haven't been able to work on my tiki's from the oki oki until just recently. i had literally just returned from osh with some new stain for my benzart lesson when i found this...

sorry the images aren't very clear. these were my first tiki's let alone half of my first benzart tiki, so i really wanted to keep these so i can track my progress. i plan on gluing some new basswood to the damaged parts and re carve them.... has anyone ever tried that? it seems like it would work it's just a pia....
anyway, i plan on getting on the large tiki after the holiday, i just have to finish an outdoor bbq i've been working on. here's where i'm at with that, it's basically the same as it was in class.

(that's our bbq in the background)
i've been chomping at the bit to get the chisels back in my hand. i will update you on the progress.

thanx again ben, diablo, and bosko and my fellow oki oki classmates you all are truely inspirational. there are still a few of you that haven't posted picks of your tiki's, there was a lot of quality work done in class and i'd love to see the finished works...

mahalo,
TikiKirby
