I start to carve my first Tiki in September 2004. It´s from a piece of balsa wood.

These are also balsa Tikis.

This is a kind of a Tiki mask. The wood calls in Germany "Birke". Sorry, I don´t know what´s in english!

Six mounth ago I start to create my firt bigger Tiki.

Now I have 15 Tikis. Here you can see a few of them.

I create a Tiki bar with two chairs for one of our three tiki exibithion in summer 2005.

This time I´m carving new figures for our next exibithion in February.

Welcome to TC Haikai. What a great way to make an entrance, Tikis all over the place and more under construction. Excellent tiki bar and excellent tikis. How long have you been carving tikis and what made you pick up the first log and say ," I'm gonna make myself a Tiki"?
Keep carving and posting.. :)

Thanks everyone,

Benzart, the first time I was touched with tiki, was in 1999 when I discover the book of tiki.
I was so enthusiastic about Tiki, that I´m started to create my own little paradise at home. The problem in Germany is, you can´t get realy nice carvings.
So I start to carve my own Tikis in September 2004.
The first Tikis are very smal and only balsa wood.
In April 2005 I want to have a bigger figure and start to carve my first 3,5 feet Tiki.

Here are more from my first carvings:

rodeotiki, here can you see the carved Shrunken head. Thanks...

The second Tiki is also a Moai. It´s not finished yet! I think that in a few days,
I will be able to post more pictures of that work. It´s a spruce wood.

Kai, I just found this. Welcome on TC! I love seeing ALL your stuff. I might have to come back for work in freezing February, see you at Trader Vic's then.

In a true example of good timing, I had just arrived in Munich this August when Kai and Micha's Tiki exhibit ran at the WESC store (TC link?), so we met, and I fell in love with the biggest Moai and bought it. This puppy is so heavy, it will have to stay in Germany, and is currently lodging in Jo's pad in Munich. (pic?)

For being at it so briefly, this boy really has it down.

And here he is recovering from the cold German winter in our well heated Lucky Lounge. Looks like the Banana tree is growing out of his head. There is always a warm place for a lonely tiki at our home.

O.K. here are some new pictures of my Tikis!
In the last month I was very busy and carve 14 new Tikis
for our "forbidden paradise" exhibition in munich.
The first seven figures are older ones from last year.

These next figures are my new Tikis, which I create between oktober and december 2005.
You can see I start to experience with coulors and oils.

This was my last balsa wood carving. It´s a Maori with perlmutt eyes for a "pacific showcase".

did somebody say, Tiki Seeman!

All very nice with an older unknown quality about them. That Moai barstool is so cool. I like how the head tilts back but them it turns out to only be the back of the seat.

That's a great bunch of tikis. Your style is nice and the different twist to the tikis are great ideas. They are all very well done. Look forward to seeing more.

Aloha guys,

here you can see my yesterdays homework.
I was sitting in my room and feeling boring, than I started to figure Mogambos Tiki.
It´s carved out of a piece of balsa wood.
The Tiki should get a pandant and now I´m consider to give it a coulor.

Have you any tipps for me for the finish coulor?

Nice tiki head, now we just need the movie to come out with it. The funny thing is, I was just thinking about that movie today and how it needs to be made. I was wondering if you there going to say that you made a life-size, full body one but this is a more portable one, so it just as good. Now when that film, does come out, you can be wearing it around your neck while you watch. Its sort of like all those toys that come out with all the new releases.

I love these tikis....you give them an artistic expression thats all your own! Many tiki carvings are just repeats of things already done, while yours on the other hand have the heritage in them, but give it a whole new fresh twist!
Great job! Some of my favorites ever.
