So I bought a dremel tool, and busted out this little flower at the base of a tiki I'm working on for my buddy Howard's place out at the beach:

Also, I have started a little deal at my house on Tuesday nights where a few friends come by to drink a few beers, and hang out while I bust out some tiki stuff...OR...(gasp)..actually take on a piece of their own, like my friend Frank here. Frank is quite a talented artist already, so I'm stoked that he caught the tiki bug. If he keeps at it he'll probably fly right past me by his 2nd or third piece. Also, he's actually a professional tournament fisherman / fishing guide, and is extremely passionate about it, so I'm hoping for some serious fish / fishing themed tikis in the future. I was so stoked to get him on it I pretty much just sat back and let him have the chisels & watched the action unfold.

Just a mouth so far, I roughed it out with the chainsaw, and he spent a solid hour gouging the rest out, and yeah, I coached him quite a bit ("go big Frank, go big"), but I think that this is a hell of a nice 1st piece and I'm stoked for my boy. Go Frank!

TIKI TUESDAY is a success!!!!
