I'm glad the authentic irish compliment is catching! F word in Dublin is like the H word here. They think nothing of it. But, don't for any reason say the word; "Fanny" Don't ask. It made no sense, but, I've had fun with it none the less. Slaint'e Mahalo McTiki [ Edited by: McTiki 2007-02-18 18:48 ] |

Wow! The tummy-tats just keep on getting better'er! There is a name/meaning for that notched design; possibly representing taniwha/monsters teeth(?) or perhaps an 'ancestral' pattern denoting the passing generations(?). Im embarrassed to admit that I dont know for certain. Perhaps B.K would know; he seems pretty well versed in these things..? I suppose Id better leave a profanity or two, too: bi#ching! f*#king awesome, bl*#dy marvelous, etc... Seriously though, I reckon this ranks amongst your finest works! Master? Mister? hmmmm, 'Meister-Carver'? :lol: TTT :) PS: Show us your hairy chest! (private joke) |

Tikisgrl - Hello! Yep, he's got a knife back there. Watch him, or he'll git you. TikiDuddy - Bam! Bam, bam, bam!!! He gotcha... Tama - He does indeed have many blood stains on him already....all of it mine. Finkster - Thanks. I have a few more things I would like to do to him, and then it's on to a major sanding stint. Benz - Thanks. You're looking good too! :wink: BK - your stuff is looking "very good" as well. When are you going to post something new and different? All - I'm just back from a trip to Fort Lauderdale for work. I was able to eat at the Mai Kai last night and watch the 7:00 show. I took several pics while I was there. I'll post them around TC in a few days. |

Great job Gman. The teko is looking neat-o. I like the tattoos on him, a true warrior. I think a stain on the knife would make it really pop. It will make the knife standout more against its background. do it.(just my 2cents) |

Hey guys, Sorry but no update on the Tekoteko for this weekend again. I intended to work yesterday but it was cold and raining. The most I could produce was the "how to" bone post for Duddy. I'm off for a day ride on my ATV now. Be back out of the woods at 3:00 - Tiki work soon...... -Gman |

Master G, Sorry for bouncing in a little late on this thread....this guy is turning out to be most tight! He is certainly one of my favorites that I have seen here on TC. The detailing is just terrific! I can kind of see pictures of the chisels that you are using to get this detail in a few of your pictures....as I have really just started carving, I only have some of the larger Flexcut sculpture chisels along with some power tools in my arsenal right now....I would very much like to try my hand at some detailing on this next one I'm doing too...Is there any suggestion you could give me on some good "detailing" smaller chisels that I could purchase to get my hands wet to this direction? You rock dude! |

Ahoy!....you crazy nut-bags! I know, I know.....I've been a bit scarce 'round here - bean out doing other thangs. I plan to be back "on the boards" with the last push on this Tekoteko. I plan for an entire weekend of nip-tucking and sanding. I would like to have the first coats of finish on it by Sunday night. The weather should be good for finishing, as the temps should be in the 80's. I'll post lots of pics on the way.... Can I finish by page 100? I dunno? I want him done, but I want him done right. After him, it's back to the bench for a few bones. Kicked my own a$$, aye? :lol: :D Gman |

Benzo - The Mai Kai visit was a few weeks ago....for the last few weekends I've been out playing in the sand.....:D My back wouldn't let me play in the sand with the guys today, so I slept in and then spent a solid four hours working on the Tekoteko. Four hours is about all my back could handle. I worked on a few areas and then got a good 100 grit sand on him. I'll move to 150, 220, 320, and then maybe 400 tomorrow. He's real close now. Hopefully I can get him in color tomorrow afternoon. Here are a few pics: This one is for JohnnyP.... Which one of us is uglier? -G |

I agree with Paip though; definately needs some colour to pass as a Maori. Whats up with your back..? One too many spills in the sand or is it from moving this fella about?

Hey all, Thanks for comments on my figure carving, they are much appreciated. Here are the first pics of the Barefoot Assassin in stain. He has a lot of real deep reds that didn't show in the pics. His knife is black. He will be getting multiple coats of spar and bone eyes with paua inlayed pupils. He's still a long way from done, but I wanted to meet Tama's request for (near) completed pics of him on page 100. I hope you like him. -Gman "The saw is family" [ Edited by: GMAN 2007-03-15 20:00 ] |
