the pictures of some of my Tikis have started to make it around to my friends and their friends and now word is getting around that i am carving Tikis. Thats a good thing right? the other night i got a call from a friend who is opening a bait/ hardware store in melb beach and wanted to know it i would be interested in maybe putting some Tikis in their store. now i would not mind making a few bucks of my artwork but that is not why i am carving Tikis. with out thinking i told my friend that i would not have a problem with putting some Tikis in there shop. After i gave it some thought i started to think better of it. We have been friends for a very long time but I know first hand that money can kill a friendship in no time flat.So if they want i would come out and set some Tikis up out front of their store but i dont know anout just giving them some Tikis to hold on to to sell. on top of that. i was at my another (very close)friends house last night. He was telling his wife about my Tikis. After seeing the pictures she asked if i would be willing to do a tiki for them. they have helped me out in the past. they cave me a place to stay when i got out of the Army. So i feel making them a Tiki would be a fitting way to say thanks. my buddy stopped by tonight to watched the game and while we were talking he told me that what his wife wants it 2 tikis to either side of their massive(60inch) tv in their living room. i only have 2 hands and they both have carpal tunnel. lol looks like i have some carving to do.
