Started working with some denser foam product from the hardware store. This is an attempt to recreate the wrought iron tiles that most Trader Vic’s locations have mingled in with their jade tiles ( last photo below). We had to redesign ours a bit from the original since our tile frame is such that the tiles sit on their end- or in a diamond configuration. Only one for now, it’s a bit tedious with the carving and sanding.

First attempt at carving a tiki. Cheap foam from Amazon isn’t the best- or I’m not that skilled using it yet. A bit porous and sad more stone look than wood. This guy isn’t the best, but I think he turned out ok.
