There is a tiki party going on in my backyard - Tiki Carving

The big fatty tikis were a chore to work with, they were around 1/2 a ton each and I had to use a backhoe and lots of leverage to move them. I don't know about you guys, but I have become kind of a bear from moving lots of logs. When it was time to deliver them, I somehow got them into a loaded down U-haul. The 12 hour, all night drive, to Phoenix was pretty interesting, but miraculously we made it. Normally, I like to carve my large tikis deeper, but these had to be split in half and wrapped around a support pole. These are the finished product of the ones I had in a separate post last year. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it. Gman, where are the pictures of your project using the burl I sent you? I'm sure that it looks killer. you can post it under "other crafts". Will
