Hi there again.

Thank you for welcoming me Babalu, Hiltiki, benella, Tonga Tiki & TikiLaLe.

As I mentioned, there are only old pics at present for me to post.

To show you some more, I picked two other tikis of which I only have these pics left.
I gave them away to some friends of mine.

And again, there where no lines drawn on the logs to give myself a direction. I just started without knowing, where it would end.

The small one on the table is made out of beech, height about 30 cm / ca. 12 inch + the big on in the corner was a birch log I guess (I had barked a few till then and can´t rememeber now.)Height was ca. 50 cm / 20 inch.

I like tikis with bodies better than only the heads, although I think you come to an end faster when only doing the head.
Anyway, it allways takes its time, especially when you got no helplines on the log.
That is, what I found out at first and where you guys at TC inspired me.

When I carve, I still don´t follow any special style or pattern, and so it went with these two fellows.

I sorry for the quality of my photos, but it´s not possible to get them better.









Hope,you like them.

There is more to come.

Peace.
