TikiG, Lake Surfer, GROG, congatiki, TheBigT, surfintiki, amate, tikigodz, BIG tiki scott and Benzart mauruuru for all the compliments, I wanted to make a base just because when I stand the KU up I felt it was a bit short and was undermining his man, ha ha, he needed to be a bit higher. Than I was checking out buzzy amazing drums and the idea came up, doing a 3 faces stand would be cool. First I wanted to be true to the island setup, the Polynesian triangle, Hawaii, New Zealand and Easter Island, but being a Tahitian freak I had to switch Easter Island with a Marquesan face.

BigT you should go ahead and raise that Tiki by the fireplace.

Benzart, you're right I should definitely clean up the base before carving, for some reason I always think it's going to workout just fine at the end.

I just finished the drum this morning before going to work, the skin is finally drying, the sound starts to be cool, here are some picts. I'll try to record something when it's fully dry.
