Then go to harbor freight or get on craigslist & buy yourself a few cheap tools(and some gloves & goggles) and experiment a bit with shaping a decent, free piece of wood. Draw some lines on it and follow them. If you've already done a little carving you'll probably pick it up quick. Having a tiki is cool, making one could change you life. Just something to think about... .
