Waffle Head at the Tiki Bog with his Bro's

Stain is minwax cherry #235 with tong oil coat.

Razor Clam dig was good this time.




B

The Tiki Bog! How cool is that!

Is that at a campground, at your house, or what?

Sweet pictures Seeks!!! Those look really good all stained up!!! Mad props!!! They look just like our favorite pics.

S

Bowana - Thanks. The Tiki Bog is a lot my father in law
gave me a few years ago its on the WA coast.
This is the birth place of tiki carving for me.

tikifreak - Thanks man. I'm looking fwd to some R&R at the tiki bog
this summer.

Geez does he look wonderful! Love the stain and finish...perfect. Tiki Bog looks like a great place to hang out! I love the outdoor decorating...fantastic!

SEEKS! Waffle head is superb! THAT's a MASTERpiece! It has a great sheen to 'em, that tong oil is sweet, I'll be trying that.
Nice use of the tiki torches. Looks like a great place to hang, you know if I'm anywhere nearby...I'm there!

C

Can't think of much to say...how about holy mackerel!
Wonderful work and great pics!

Seek, the Waffle turned out beautiful! They all look great sitting around the fire there. Nice work.

Now, let's see that Lono!

Had to look these buggers up...

Never heard of them.

I imagine they are quite yummy though... I found some good recipes for them online already. :wink:

I'll have to get up to the Northwest sometime for a taste.

B

Definitely an Incredible job on the Waffle-head, Super looking finish. Excellent bog space there too sounds like the perfect place for a giant TC tiki chop! Lets make it happen!

S

Robin - Thanks I only have 2 coats of oil on him more coming soon.

surfintiki - Thanks dude I was loving the tiki torches at night.
You know it if you are out this way you have to stay at the tiki bog.

conga - thanks much I'm trying to catch up with all of your feller's.
It was fun setting them up and enjoying them.

Lake - thanks I have many razors frozen up for just such a occasion.
And the surf is just up the road.

Benz - Thanks Benz, A TC chop at the tiki bog would be the coolest
thing ever for me. I wouldn't have to travel that far.

Wow Seek, your Tiki's are amazing, you have inspired me to try a full body tiki too... :D which wood do you normally carve? :) I have been told that Oak is a very hard wood to carve, I only have Oak logs avasilable at the moment!!!

May the Tiki be with you... :drink:

Goob - thanks I only have a handful of carves all but
one have been red alder. The latest one is cedar.
I really like both of these woods. I'm still experimenting
with diff wood.

B

WOW SEEKS THAT GUY REALY CAME OUT GREAT
BUT I HEARD HE WANTS TO MOVE TO SAN DIEGO
I GUESS I CAN LET HIM LIVE ON MY PATIO FOR
THE NEXT 40 OR 50 YRS !!!!!!!!

GREAT STUFF

[ Edited by: buzzard 2008-05-10 09:16 ]

Wow what an awesome finish.That head dress is amazing. you better put lojack on that one.

C

Seek you have some real talent. Maybe a tiki carver in a past life? Capo

Seeksurf, As a former Washingtonian I know the Tiki Bog enviroment well. I have spent a lot of time on the coast. The geoducks look awesome man.I'll be back up there in August selling my tikis at the Hotrod-A-Rama in Tacoma.Mad props to you on your carvings man. They are just plain tits! Thanks for your positive comments on my stuff. I am starting on a new one tonight. Your full body carving were inspiration on my full body green guy I call King Dick-a-Licka( if he had one he could) I plan on doing some more full body guys. Let me know if ya wanna try some palm to carve on. I can bring a couple of logs to you then and I could use some red cedar in trade. PM me if ya are hip to this. Tucson Tiki

Just wondering.....

My first 2 Tikis are up and a chain saw only 10 footer or so
i have been working on its a quickie.

buzzard - Thanks yes I'm sure he would like that dryer climate.

canyonlake - Thanks I have a chain on him but I don't leave him
out when i leave he goes in the RV.

capotiki - Thanks, past life? I'm open to diff thoughts.

GMAN - Good to hear from you G.

AKUAE - Thanks much for checking them out.

benella - Lots of this going on carving time has been
put to the side alittle.

Benz - you got it right i have been playing. Well we only
have a few months of nice sunny weather.

Robin - Sorry been playing and not much change on the Lono.


1st and 2nd Tikis 2nd guy more PNW Indian than tiki.


B

Well I guess you quit playing for a bit, the Dueling Lono's are gonna be Top-of the line too. Nice works.

10 foot!?

Geeeze seeks, way to step it up a few notches!

The roughout looks great, as does the guy in the garage. You're making me jones for bigger logs again.

The other quickies are cool too.

The Tiki Bog looks like a really fun place to hang out at and let the wood chips fly. :tiki:

[ Edited by: Lake Surfer 2008-05-27 23:44 ]

Hellz yeah Seeks!!! Looks like you're having a blast at the bog!

S

Gman - thanks, i needed that.
