My husband & I went on a cruise in 2004 and when we returned home we couldn't cope with the real world as well as before.

My husband decided to build a bar in the backyard and it was my job to decorate it. I've always been rather craftsy so my husband suggested that I carve a tiki for our bar. We went to a local log home builder and bought a 12 foot log for $50. I went to the local book store & bought a few carving books. I went on eBay & bought my first carving tools. Now I needed some pictures, so off to the Internet I go. I find tikicentral.com. EUREKA! What is this BOT they keep talking about...

I did carve 2 tiki poles for our bar and I have done a glass tile tiki mosaic bartop and some other tiki stuff. My husband was pleased. But I can't get enough.
Now I just lurk around TC because I've been bit by that tiki bug.
