I've been carving Tikis for about 9 months. The first Tiki here is my first attempt, and may be too ambitious, but it is fun. Made from a log from a jackfruit tree. More than a foot tall, but never measured it. The wood is interesting because of the light color, some variations of color running through it, and it's dense wood. Not a hardwood. Still working at it. Once I am satisfied with the body I will start in on the floral headband and Plumaria blossom in the center of the piece.
