The answer to Q1 is: Säffle. Thats my home town. Have been to Rättvik, it´s (I think) 4 houres north from me.They hav a big carshow up there!

Q2: I will post pix as soon as I lern how to post them (I´m a computor retard):D If anyone ask for me I´ll be in the test-room for three more weeks...!

Q3: Glad you ask! The answer is ASK! Have no clue what it´s called in the states, ore if you have it there.It´s very smooth and has not to many branch´s. I like it alot!

I checked out your website. You are right the tikis speak for themselves. Good Job. That last one has quite a pile of chips behind it. I'd guess it is all hand work, no powertools?

Yes, I´m goná look like Arnold when I´m done!
To bee honest I was not awere of how long it would take, to carve a tiki that size....But I sure feel stronger now!

Here´s some smaller ones. (the size is ....as a short mans arm...)

Tanks!! I´m glad yo like it!
Most of my tiki-designs are a mix of what I seen on TC. And of course The Book of Tiki.

This one is concrete.


Also tryed doing some mugs.

Hi,tikiDiablo!
Tere is lots of work left on left on my ford. My plan is to build a classic custom with a carson top and lakepipes.
And of course a tiki-pinstripe job on the trunk! :D

That is a beautiful car. Have you been to the big car show in Rattvik? My parents were there last year and showed me pictures. It was a huge show.

Thanks for sharing
