Got a couple of the Tiki King ones, nice though I'd prefer wood. Gave one to a friend and she's thrilled, that's cool. Will look at the chikitiki's mentioned. Would love one of those silver Munktiki's, anyone got the scoop on picking one up. Got shiny new nice mugs, prints ect. to trade. After not really finding what I was looking for I said the hell with it and tried to carve my own. I have zero talent with the arts but made a pretty decent Moai pendant copying my favorite Metal Tiki I wear. I cheated (yes?) and used my dremel tool with carving attachments. Would like to hand carve also but could not find decent carving knives anywhere at all. I want small tools for small projects. I'll probobly stick with Moai pendants for a while as I dig them. Anyone know the good tools to look for and where to find them? Want the quality stuff, with fixed blades. How about the dremel tool...bad? Other small power tools, attachments? Think I'd like to try both. Mahalo for any suggestions or good links, very new to carving.
