NICE SCORE! It is strange how most people do love the big, goofy white smiles and yet the more "knowledgable" tiki fans despise them. I can't say much because I'm guilty of pandering to the masses as well. Looking forward to seeing what's next. CARVE DEEP!

Yeah, can't blame ya. i think if i had masses to pander to, i would pander also.

Thanks 'T' ... no dolly or carts for these .... they were down a slope in the middle of a field so it was carrying them one by one up to the Jeep! .... It's definitely a labor of love with this tiki carving gig ..

... hey, at least the cats are happy with the new stack!

... yea, Aloha, it is turning out to be a balance between traditional stuff, which some people really love because of the history, and the 'tourist' stuff with the BIG TEETH and funky bods ..... so, that being said ..... the last two days have been spent carving one for the 'tourists' ...

This is one of the 6-footers .... and yes, it's going to be a BIG MOUTH! .... a 'shaka' BIG MOUTH!

.... Pander Bears! ..... Don't mention "Pander Bears" ... or they'll be putting in orders for carved marsupials ... (Is a panda a marsupial?) .... next thing ya know they'll be wanting a carving of a bear with a salmon in it's mouth!!

Thanks for stopping and Have a Great Day!!
