Hi Tiki carvers !

After a lot of visits on TC, I decided to post my first realisations...
I would just like to introduce myself quickly !
My name is Vincent, I live in France, just at the Swiss and German borders, and I'm addict to VW aircooled, good music, beachcruisers, custom Art in general and tiki carving of course.
Due to a lot of passions VW's, music (I play guitar in a famous :wink: Ska band http://www.myspace.com/packageska ), webcreation ... I sculpt very slowly (around 2 tikis per year !!!). But I'll try to invest more time in this activity !!!

I started to carve at the summer 2006, after a HotRod meeting in Swiss. I was not at this event, but a couple of friends (Seb and AKUAE on TC) meet an europeen legend: HAKAI !!! :wink:, and brought me a lot of picture of his realisations. 1 week later, we bought our first log of wood !

OK ! Enough writting.
You will see below me 3 first Tiki's. I hope you'll enjoy it !

The first is about 20cm (8 inch)
His name is "BOB" because I made it when my son was born and I looked every day "Spongebob" at the TV !

The second is in a 65cm (25 inch) peace of beech
He is called "JAZ"

The last I've just finished this week is about 93cm (36 inch) in an old worn log of pine. We can see a lot of worm holes ! It was my challenge to reborn this ugly and dead peace of wood !!!
I give him the name "HAPPY", because he makes me smile !

The next in 6 months !!! :wink:
See ya'
Vinz
