Hi Tiki Central! Here another summer update from France:

Thank you for kind word Christophe, U'u warclub is made from a large méranti plank.

Also thank you Amate, Jeff, ForTheLoveOfTiki, Rioturban, Watango, Hiltiki & Grog! Thank's guy's!... :D

Hey Sensei Carver! Glad you like. This Marq mask is inspired from a painting seen on the net. He will soon decorate the studio of my fav tattoo artist!

Glad you're back T-mec! Thank's for reposting the Marq'club and thank's for your comment! Much appreciated from you. An U'u club carved by you will be awesome for sure, and in a piece of black walnut! Wow! You must find that! Can't wait to see your new works...

Some news from the workshop:
