Lake Tiki - 8/23/2013 - Red Cedar - Tiki Carving

I haven't seriously counted but I'd take a guess that I've carved 200+ tikis in all types of sizes since 2002. Blows my mind. Lately carving has led to doing bar and restaurant interiors. Some personal bars and homes also. Those are fun. I also sell at tiki related events and various retail outlets. You nailed it on the surfing aspect. I'm a longboarder and love the scene at San Onofre. A nice mix of surfing, tiki and South Pacific culture influence. Still feels like the 50's there too. After carving my first tiki I was drawn further into the cultures of the South Pacific. I try to stay true to as much of it as I can while mixing in my own style. I discovered Polyneisan Pop Culture further down the road and enjoy it also. That led me here. [ Edited by: Lake Surfer 2007-12-13 00:46 ]
