Marcus is a great teacher and such a down to earth and humble bloke, and it was a pleasure hanging with him and a bunch of other fine folk all weekend talking tiki art and carving :D Everyone got a pre-marked out log, ready to carve. As part of the package everyone gets a basic toolkit to start carving too - awesome! "See its easy, just hit the pointy steel thing into the wood thing with the other wood thing and within seconds you'll have a 6 foot tiki" Its me! Mel getting some tips Sasquatch had a couple of hours drive just to get to the workshop! Safety cons with inbuilt steel caps? Shaping up This is how mine finished up after 2 days of carving. Basically she just needs some minor finishing up, sanding and lacquer. I can't wait to see everyone elses finished tikis! :D
