VonTiki's first tiki

here's my first tiki. I've sold lots of tiki but this one I am creating myself.
I hope it turns out good! I bought an angle grinder and a wood carving attatchment.
Thanks for any advice you might offer.

Here's some more of our tikis, but, we did'nt carve these. We refinish them,etc.

Hey Doctiki, the angle grinder attachment looks the same as mine and is by acompany called Arbortech. I got mine in The UK but most good hardware stores stock them and you can buy them online. There's also a miniature version for tight corners and detail work.

he's right. Its an arbortech. Made in Australia. I got mine at Harbor Freight.

Vontiki, you look familiar. Did you have a booth at the Long Beach Tiki Fest, by chance?

All those tikis look great. can you post a pic of the Platform Sandals on the tiki's head?

sorry dude. Those platform sandals are gone.
I ordered more but I won't see them until mid December.Heres a pic from a little different view.

Hah! I thought so. Right across from Bartiki, right? Liked your stuff, great event. Keep postin' your new original creations.

Thanks man, i appreciate that. We will be at the Cruz show on Sat, Nov 13th.

Hey, Vontiki.

Good luck at the "Cruz" show. Wish I could make it. This post may bring back some memories from the last one. Check out these Long Beach Tiki Fest "Carver" Pics.

Sorry, I didn't get any shots of your booth. But you can make up for that by postin' some "carver" pics from this show. Good luck, & sell lots o' tikis!
