I've got some other non-tiki wood carving commissions going on this week, but I found some time to sneak in some tiki.
This is a project that I wanted to do this past summer, but things got real busy and I never got the time for it.

I started on one of four support post covers for my patio awning in the backyard. Carved wood looks so much better than aluminum poles.

The design was inspired by some patterns I saw in the Bali Hai the last couple of times I was there.

6 " sides

Two 6" sides torched and ready for assembly

The other two sides are 4" wide and are some basic Marquesan designs. The whole thing stands 7' 6" tall.

Finished post cover.

When things warm a bit in the Spring, I'll stain them up, give them some spot painting and some rope accents.
One down, three to go.
