Welcome to TC Aweulekuula - these sure don't look very amateur! Beautiful carvings - the stick gods are great examples of designing to the materials, which is something I am a strong believer in. This one in the picture I've quoted is very similar (in feel) to a genuine old piece I was shown a while back, and definitely achieves the aim of looking like it could have lived in a cave for several hundred years. There is something quite primal and spooky about tikis made from lava. How big (or small) is this fella?
