MadDog Mike's Platterful of Pupule - El Tiki/Ben Wilson Wall Finished - Other Crafts

But I thought I would start my own thread of tiki related junk. Maybe it will inspire some other non-artist to take a shot at self expression, if nothing else I can always serve as a bad example :) I have already posted much of this cr&p, now it's just consolidated in one pile! I will see if I can start in chronological order. As a kid, we had some Canary Island Palms in the front yard that shed fronds perfect for carving Tiki masks. This was back in the days where every boy got a pocket knife for his 10th birthday, I guess that doesn't happen anymore. Here are some tiki masks I carved about 10 years ago and a few new ones. You'd think after 40 years of practice I'd be better :P http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=28324&forum=18 Anything worth doing, is worth doing to the point of wretched excess.
