Hi Guys, my name is Paul, I live in the UK, about an hours drive south of London. A while back I was left some woodworking tools from my late Grandad, he was a carpenter by trade. So a lovely big box of tools sitting in my shed for a few years doing nothing and then just recently I came across some pictures of Tiki carvings, I thought to myself they look really cool, why don't I have a go at carving a Tiki myself, I've got some wood lying about. So I set to and these are the results, had loads of fun doing them and really seemed a nice relaxing hobby. The couple I have made are of course no where near the standards of the amazing work on this forum, but I think I have the bug and going to go for number 3 over this weekend, weather is going to be good :wink:

So this is Number 1

And number 2






So that's my first 2 Tiki's done, they are both carved out of Oak. Really pleased I've found this forum, a great resource for all that's Tiki.
Have a nice weekend people
Paul :)
