Aloha ka'kou!

Hi everyone - It has been a long time since creating anything and even longer since posting on this site. I've got a lot of ideas about projects in my head. Not all are tiki related. From those that are, some have made it to paper, and even fewer into production. My latest project is a few versions of the PNG gope board. I'm trying to pay some respects to the design but less towards reproducing the "artifact" quality with inspiration coming from Pacific spirits through visions and dreams. Sorry for the picture quality. The pieces are 8"x24" and made from plywood using scrollsaw. I tried different techniques with the color as I wanted experiment with varying degrees of wood grain display. They are not quite finished yet but almost there. Please share your thoughts. I would love to see if these ideas are accepted in the tiki community because there are a lot more where these came from. MAhalo!
