He calls them “Tiki Bots.” Obviously they represent “see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.” The staining and finish still needs to be done. Mrs Hoptiki's Carvings: I've been working on a Swamp Fire inspired carving. Doug Horn is one of my favorite tiki artists. It's a 11 1/2 X 7 piece to hang in my living room. I have used just plain old pine wood because it’s soft and easier for me to carve (I’ve got a bit of an arthritis problem). The only drawback in using the pine wood is that it chips easily. I’d like to add tattoo’s if I can figure out how to do them properly. I still have some refinements to make,sanding and of course the staining and finish. Mahalo for looking.
