Aloha guys!

Paipo, thanks for the compliment.

This time, in Bavaria the spring is very early. Last year we had at the same time lots of snow
and now it´s like summer. So I´m realy motivated and bussy at my tiki garage. No more cold fingers!

Long time ago I told you from the "tiki silver ring", which I want to create in cooperation with
„Jeweler Kurzan“ from Munich. Finally, I found the time and figured out the wax model.
Here you can see the first step of the tiki ring.

In March, I carved a little pendant for my buddy Michael (ramba-zamba).
I created the tiki face out of a old piece of cherry wood. The wood has a beautiful texture and color
and a crack above the left eye. After sanding, I polisched it with wax.

The happy guys!

And at last, here are some pictures of my latest work. I figured out a tiki plaster model for a key fob,
which I want to use for making a mold. Than I´ll try to cast it in synthetic resin.

Mahalo, Haikai
