Oh no, could this be a tiki Hodag? :o (A little Wisconsin inside joke. :wink: ) I love how your style is developing. It's pure Congatiki with just a touch of traditional just to keep it grounded. |

Conga, Do you have a monkey on your back? This is one far out tiki. I can't wait to see what it will turn into. I'm sure you're not showing us all that you have planned. I wanna see more! -Gman |

That's cool...Cook Islands style..you need to start making clubs, braddah! I wish more people would; they are such a vital part of the perfect tiki illusion; there's hardly a postcard showing the interior of an old tiki temple where you can't see one or two hanging there giving the guests that warm taboo..danger! Exotic mystique! Here's a link I was sent by a friend to tribalsite.com showing some Fijian weapons...these were documeted in Fergus Clunie's book "Fijian Weapons and Warfare", and also a great view of the Kon Tiki in Cleveland with the war clubs in situ..

OUCH! BK, you're scaring us with all those head-bangers. Conga, I love the new work. That little monkey guy is both freaky and cool. Nice weapon too. I'll admit I'm a little intimidated about carving those things. They are so precise. A-A |

Oh my goodness, how did I miss all your updates?! Conga these rock! The monkey tiki with the monkey is your coolest yet. That was such a great idea. And now you're carving clubs too! I'm so impressed. Great work! If that monkey needs a job, I know a tiki bar here that hires monkey waiters. :wink: |

Wow, CT, how does it feel to carve with the "Real" toolz? This little tiki isvery good. Your carvings will improve 100% using these new Flexcut toolz. I'm Glad you took the plunge. |
