A small carving and a Memorial project - Tiki Carving

One is a mini replica of the 8FT tall vintage palm Marquesan tiki from the K.C. Kona Kai originally created by Ed Crissman who worked for Oceanic Arts and restored by me in 2003. It is now in our great room and is the basis of my TC name. (for anyone who did not know the origins of my moniker) I wear this one with my aloha shirts. I also made a Moai with topknot for Mrs.8FT and the last one is a Moai Kava Kava bust and it is my entry for the Easter Island themed carving swap. Each is 4 inches tall except for the Kava Kava which is 3 1/2". I worked on these mostly in the evenings while watching tv. I guess it is kinda like indoor whittling. (which Mrs. 8FT lets me do if I clean up after myself). Benzart, I have used the heck out of the hook knife set since you told me where to get it. Thanks again for the advice.
