Greetings to all from a Canadian Tiki fan. I've been a fan since way back when dad had his very own tiki bar set up in the house I grew up in. Now, some 40 plus years later I find myself wielding a chainsaw most days, carving up a frenzy. The tiki carvings continue to be among my favourites to create and as such I've lurked on this site for ages admiring and being inspired by the members works I see here from time to time. I figured it was about time I introduced myself.

I'm slowly figuring out how Instagram works and have found the #tiki hashtag so will post photos of any future tiki carvings there. I don't have a lot of photos of them because they are typically carved during demonstration carving engagements and are generally sold before I pack up for the day. I've started a series of large fish hook carvings, woven in Polynesian/Maori fashion and love the process of creating those as well so there will be many of them carved for the rest of this lifetime of mine.

I'll be sure to share some of my work here with all of you.

Now if I could only find a cheaper supply of thatch roofing I could get to work on my own "just like dad's" tiki bar......
