I am absolutely facinated with your work! I live in the city & good logs are very scarce...this may be the answer to my carving passion.

Capo, just got this book with free shipping here Hoping to get even one idea. I'll tell you what I think of it after I look at it.

I made him for my grandsons baseball coach.MAHALO, Capo

Nice work how do you do that ?
you have a mold out of what and how?

Seeksurf no molds or casting ,every piece is hand built original.The process is called mesh concrete sculpture,a wire frame covered with mortar.Here is one that is just about to be finished and one recently completed

page 1 and 2 will give you a idea how it is done.Capo

Aw I see that's cool. Love the one shot of all the tikis
on the side of the house.

You have mastered this process and those guys look great.

Time for a tiki sale!

Capotiki, I Love how well your tikis have progressed, the detail is so smooth and fine and the finish is suburb. Excellent stuff.

Ben thanks for the kindness,I Made this one for a San Diego Chargers football fan who is a good friend.I added the lightening bolts by overlaying Portland cement with a bonding agent on to the original sculpture after drying.I spent about 40 hours which is way more than I have spent on any piece.It is a gift........
