M MooneyTiki Member Jensen Beach,fla Joined: Sep 28, 2005 Posts: 578	M MooneyTiki Posted posted on Mon, Nov 28, 2005 9:34 AM Aloha Palm city tiki (mike)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO my friend i havent been holding out on you,but i still dont have phone lines in my house yet,so i can only respond when i am at the firehouse working . I will try to get some pics out soon. I have a 3ft tiki almost done and a 6ft lono almost finished. Did I mention that the big logs are highly overated to work with when the only mule you have is yourself, but I'm making them to stick in front of the 3 8"x8" wood columns on our front porch. To all my friends keep carving and having fun, Aloha ,Mooney

J JohnnyP Tiki Socialite Attica, MI Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 1695	J JohnnyP Posted posted on Wed, Dec 28, 2005 5:21 AM Very good stuff! I spent a long time looking at these. I like the layout. It looks like pine (which as a northerner I love to carve). One or two piece(s) looks like it could be dimensional lumber, or did you cut the blanks yourself? JP
B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Wed, Dec 28, 2005 5:30 AM I can answer some of these ?'s for Jimmy. The wood is Dimensional pine 2 by's from Home Depot, cut to length of usually 3 to 5 feet and cut to a 30 degree angle lengthways and then glued and pegged together. after carving, he will add cross member supports on the back of the carving . Good old douglas fir or pine, which ever Home Depot carries. JImmy is starting to use more chisels and gouges in his work and is trying to get away from the cartoony look of years past.
M MooneyTiki Member Jensen Beach,fla Joined: Sep 28, 2005 Posts: 578	M MooneyTiki Posted posted on Wed, Dec 28, 2005 12:16 PM Aloha to all!!!!!! Loki,thanks for the props. I am trying to come down to the jam but might be working at the fire house. Benzart,Much thanks to you my friend.I've learned so much from you and i keep eating from the learning spoon! Congatiki, as ben stated its yellow pine from the depot. I am really looking for KOA to work with to put much more polynesian love from my heart into my carvings. much thanks for the comps my friend! Gman, thanks for the comps my friend and keep slaying the wood JohnnyP, as ben stated what i use. I take the pieces home cut them on an angle,glue em and set em in a homemade form overnight. Then i dowell the top and the bottom with glue and leave em over night.3rd day i freehand draw what i want on one side of the mask then the other side. No patterns just a pencil ,eraser and a tape measure. I have to let you all know i was given the idea by Benzart and inspired by his mask that i saw 1 and a half years ago at the hukilau. To all of you my friends keep having fun and let the wood chips fly, Aloha, your friend , Mooney
