primitive unevolved palm tiki sacrificed for enjoyment of beer swilling rib gobbling cult...his smoke filled innerds expelled a coven of large squatting carpenter bees who angrily but impotently buzzed the groms watching nearby...this was tiki #1a...an experiment with heavy chainsaw and sore back...#3 now in planning stages stay tuned and mahalo

I,Aloufalou Onaga, a stay- at- home dad with only tools that are dedicated to warding off the encroachment of nature upon my humble hovel, have returned to mowing my coconut logs into changelings. It was a long summer here in Hawaii (seems endless actually) and I have re-institutionalized my spawn thus freeing up brain cells, time and muscles previously burdened by toils relating to child care...so I borrowed generously from the creative powers of others and churned out tiki #3...I hope no feels plagarized as I really thought highly of whoever it was firstly and with finer skill carved this Ku holding a surfboard...here's my try with boobs and succubus...someday I hope to learn how to turn off the power and hew a log sans the thunder... this one i traded for a most excellent garden rock, (those of you who love huge strangely shaped rocks... i salute)

Your carving skils are getting better with each tiki, the last showing Lots of patience in the sanding and finishing.
I Really love the "Modified Moai", that says Lots of stuff, Excellent piece. Still way identifiable as a Moai but with your Personal additions together really make him a winner.
Keep'em coming.

Just finished off my new gate and posts...the post are marq headish with bits of kingkongery going on. gate is cedar and the posts are doug fir. gate and fence keeps home monkeys at bay and "The Hank" (in background) pooping grounds reasonable.
