Thanks for the kind words. You both made some excelent Tikis.
Mr no name, i used broomstick to make the valve caps.
Here's a bigger one i made last week frome a big log, about 5ft, i got from a friend.
It had a bit of rot but since it was meant to be fire wood foor a beachclub, it was dry and ready to use.
So i brought my chissels the next day and spent al the time i had hammering out the top head and knocked out the bottom one the next day.

Somewhere during this procces i googled Tiki and found TG, so in the past week i have bought a hookknife
and got a few small pieces of oak branch to practice carving, and try and make some clean cut stuff.
I will make some pics of what i did with the hookknife tomorrow.
