Well this is what I've been able to do to date. I basically got the front carved up enough that the city council was satisfied and agreed that I had met the deadline they had set for me. After that I continued to work on him periodically. As you can see Tiki Bob (as we have been calling him) is a very loose interpretation of Aloha Station's pocket tiki shown earlier on this thread. I had originally planned on carving in a butt and the back of his legs/feet but I had a little run in with the Lance-a-lot blade about three weeks ago cutting my left palm, top of left thumb, and left index finger (nicked the tendon in the index finger) but everything is healing nicely. If you look at the pic (second from top) showing upper left side of Bob you'll see where there are two carving lines in the pineapple part that are not completed, that is when Bob demanded his blood offering and I haven't been back at it as of yet. So for now this is our 6' Tiki Bob. Any suggestions on what I should seal him with once completed polyurethane, urethane, Thompson's wood sealer ?????
