Since we are sharing finished product and methodology, how about a thread for the nursery where these tikis are born? Carvers, if you could, please share some insight into your workspace, organization skills and wood storage...

I'll start us off... My wahine and I rent in an older duplex but I'm glad for the basement space I have to work in, in the summer I work back in the garage and driveway...

My small but cozy workspace...

Tool layout on a quick little shelf I put up...

Raw materials: No palms in this northern carver's stash, pine, birch, linden, basswood and whatever else I can get my mits on...

Long wood pile... including a few straight 12 foot pines that are going to become poles like the one's in Trader Vics...

Thicker wood pile and some "in progress" tikis...

Sanding booth for finishing...

Home sweet home!
