Very nice, Cheeky. I must build a bar of my own someday soon. Is the big bamboo, like palm wood, hard to come by in the U.K.? |

Thanks Aaron, with the bamboo I found a supplier in London but I'm going through his stocks pretty quick ,theres a few more people doing it but prices vary a lot. Still no Palm but I'm having some brought in after xmas. Meanwhile I'm off to Oz and have some waiting there |

That is one fab bar man! Was Shag upset that it distracted people from his art? (j/k!)But it is a pretty sweet looking piece to be at drinking a zombie at. |

Very nice! Your tiki's rival any I have seen around here. What tools do you use? I am having trouble getting that kind of detail with a chain saw. |

I hope you managed to get down there Artiki. The problem with the Tiki Events section is that so many events are happening abroad that it's not a section that we Brits tend to look at very often. Sometime in the next few months I'm going to kick off the British Tiki Club (an improved name would be welcome!) so that news of events like this can get passed on effeciently and we can create a few events of our own. Nothing too formal - and it'll be open to non-Brits too! Trader Woody |

Personally, I like it without all those bottles in the way! The wood color is really beautiful, Cheeky. Was this some antique wood beams that you picked up somewhere, or did you start with logs? |

Thanks guys, I really like giving the Tikis an old feel, These where carved out of Horse Chestnut which isn't the most exciting wood so I played around with the stain and varnish instead to get it lookin nice. |

It does seem a little "Piddly", but that is a minor adjustment Send him to the local urologist for a prostate exam and I'm sure he will be back in working order in no time!!. |

You could adjust the flow rate, or maybe raise the angle of the dangle, or just add some bubble bath to the bowl for the illusion of a more robust stream. He looks a like he's daydreaming a bit... |

Jumping back to these guys... What did you do to the guy on the right to make him look so old? He looks age-blackened with dust collecting in the cuts. |

Wow that is a great carving! Can I ask, was the top of the head made to look that way or was that just natural to the way the piece was? And how big is he? Mahalo for sharing your work. |
