Hey Peddro...Nice Clean looking Tiki. Yeah you should post these in "Creating Tiki", but they'll let it slide once.
What are the tikis carved from? The detail is Really Crisp and sharp. Looks like you made a mold of your carvings and poured them in plaster the bottom picture beng 2 pieces?? Come on over to Creating Tiki and Spill the Beans with more pix.

As requested by Benzart (I apologize for posting GAV's tikis in the wrong forum...but, hey, we're NEWBIES!), I'll tell you all more about the tikis. Hopefully GAV chimes in with more.

These suckers aren't molded. They are all hand carved out of aerated cement by GAV (not me....I'm a carving clutz!). They weigh much less than solid cement yet will last forever. The big one, as Benzart noticed, is 2 pieces. I originally just had the head but picked the body up later on. Looks great in my front entrance. The little guy comes with me to swap meets where I sell hotrod mags.

The big guy stands about 4 foot tall.

Like I said, hopefully GAV chimes in with more info.....
