Yesterday, I did a 19" rough draft version of a back 2 back Marq plank tiki:

I'll say it again about another one of these first attempts: There are a few troublesome areas that need to be addressed.

Earlier today, local legend Crazy Kelly Osborne was looking at the dark Maoi and asked me why all my tikis are dark. He thinks tikis should look light and old. I wasn't really listening to everything he said after that about how tikis should be made, because he is, afterall, a mechanic whose own car doesn't even have reverse. So, instead of light and old, I made a Moai that was light gold:

I'm going to do a red one next. And then orange...

I like that one a lot better. I used a different stain as well

Side by side comparision of 1.0 and 2.0
