After completing the Bora Bora Bamboo Barn, my tiki enthusiasm has only grown... if you haven't checked out the barn yet go to the home tiki bar page / bora bora bamboo barn topic. or check out my blog for more carving pics and bamboo madness. http://www.tikirancher.blogspot.com

This is the first Tiki I've ever carved its about 18" tall x 6" round. I designed it as I carved...not very authentic but fun. I used a pine post (not the best material but great practice) bought some mid grade carpenters chisels and started pounding some pine. I took me about 4 hours to complete in a couple of sessions. I then decided to polychrome it since the pine wood grain wasn't the prettiest. Enjoy the tikiness!
