Nice work i like him. You made great use
of the lenght of this log.

..maybe not a MENU but ....

HAWAIIAN EYYEEEEEE OOOGH!!!

The Eye oooAGH! in his new cactus protected home

HEY does anyone have a still pic from that CUBA documentary of the bar scene where that big monster tiki is when the couple is dancing --I THINK it was havanas Trader Vics and it is a nearly psychedelic scene in many ways..but i based this tiki on it and can't really find a good image anymore to use as reference to finish this guy off

Cool stuff Moondog, it's always SO Hard to make tikis look like those Menu guys, excellent job.

cool stuff. being new to carving, the tiki culture and seeing all these different styles is wonderful.

Those guys look great Moondog, I wouldn't worry to much about pics from the cannibal. He looks excellent and i would love to have him in my yard.
Now let the chips fly.

I really like this sucker. You made me turn my head to
look at it a couple times with that off shot.
