I don't think it has to do with Crane style but the waxing more.


(posted a couple days ago

I had heard about the Hei-tiki being an embryo


I can't think of anything to add
Tomorrow is the Big Show

T

Did you just recently carve the egg to be a Hei-tiki Al ?

That would be two tiki right there. The main tiki and the Hei-

CA

yes teak,
i caved the egg shape first then carved the tiki into it...
the wax on and wax off was a cool idea... but i sort of did that one with tiki #55 the "Hang Yang"

Tiki#141 has less of a 'Far' Eastern theme, However, the East is intriguing to me as i explain in my next Tiki Mag article.

this race is neck and neck... final pic will be Sunday..
one more pic/hint tomorrow...

My ESP is finished.

But I'll take one more stab at it....

"Joind Neck and Neck?"

Maybe Chest and Chest???

See you at da show menyana Mr. Crazy Al!!!

You coming to Hurley with us first??

CA

alright... here's the last bit of info before the show tonight,
Hint #8:

i hope to see all the locals there!

T

Ok, so there I go. Crane style indeed. Damn got to wait for my camera to charge a bit, totally dead.

Can't wait to see what all those little snips of tiki look like together and parts add into it. Best game going. Never anticipated a reveal more than this. What a way to introduce 141.

B

Wow!

Not going to even try and venture a guess at this point, but jeez wiz...this is some major killa work happening here! Great photos too!

CA

Thanks for playing alone!! even if it was just a few out of 1800... made it all easy, or sort of easy, to judge this thing.

so.........
is it off to the Races! with this submission

or........ it it the Baffling Big-Foot???
...

well, i guess i already made this guy some years ago...

so, with out further screwing around....

Well, I was in the loop in terms of your subject matter, but I doubt I even would have come close knowing what I did! Mindblowing......all the homework you did really paid off on this guy!

Thanks Al for a fun comp, well done Teakey on the win.

Great job on the carve, its a monster. Kinda scary too. As always it's in the detail where it really shines. Shame I can't make it over to see it for real.

T

Very fun game Al. Part clues, part Al history piecing, and part straight out guessing. And got to Race the Racer (great TC artist too). Best part of checking in on Tiki Central this week. So wheres the big foot?? Is it a game to find it.

Cool to win that mug. Liked it since it came out and I don't have that one yet. Will be a favorite of mine for a lifetime I'm sure. My favorite mugs are the ones that you can't just buy. This one has a great back story now. I'll have to make it a daily drinker too.

Big Thanks C'AL -teaKEY

T

See the link above now. Very cool, not too far off. Those round eyes are what I think sets it on fire. Little gleaming circle eyes is a different look for you.

And for anyone who hasn't seen the new lava rock glazes Al has in the market place check out the bottom of the page I like the really black King.

Damn Al ! No on carves like you, nobdy!

I agree with Diablo your carving skilz are sick. No one does it better!

Love the mug too.

Right on Al!
#141 is a HIT!
Thanks for bringing it to the Surfbeat!
It blew people's minds,including mine!
Knowledge plus mad skillz equals a Crazy Al Tiki!
friggin beautiful and with plenty to keep the owner busy for years!
word.

H

That is a beautiful piece Al.

CA

thanks all for the kind words...
here is a bit of the background to #141... mid page
http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=20250&forum=7&start=60&70

I just want to say, as the owner of Tiki #141, I couldn't be more thrilled with the work that Al has done. We'd been emailing for nearly a year about having him carve a tiki, and it was certainly worth the wait!

It's been great to see all of the compliments in this thread, and please be assured that Tiki #141 will have a happy home with a loving family.

So what are you waiting for? Commission Al for your very own tiki!

Fantastic!!!!

I'll take two!!

Mustang Island Tiki

CA

Here the next commission...CrazyAL Tiki#144

fill this with water and then try to move it to PalmSprings??? what am i thinking...

I'll only have time for three hints before i try to get this thing to PS... so?

guess the name of Tiki#144 and get this prize: Tiki#2 TikiTeal Mug. ($65)

Is it "BASTARDS AND BOOBIES"?

MA

I'd recognize that Vahine anywhere. She's waiting for some of Trader Vic's Fine Old XXX Rum. That image will be one heck of a Tiki. You Da Man, Crazy Al!!!!! My guess would be Trader Vixen.

Is it Tiki#144 ?

"Rum Jug Tiki"?

MA

How about the One-Eyed Wahine?

This of course requires moving your eyes upwards from those awesome rum barrels.

Another comp - cool, thanks Al

How about...

Bikini Wahine

or Wahine Bikini

Barrels of fun

fun barrels

Rum Giggle [to share]

Man you are right on!!

Did you know that this 'tiki' in the logo is a female image?? And it's not a tiki!? it ain't event from Polynesia... it from New Guinea!! Abelam tribe... hmmm to tiki? or not too tiki???

Hint #2: You got it right with the rum. Add a Menehune and be happy.

M

I say it is.....VOODOO APE TIKI

how about...

Surprise XXX Rum Delivery

or

menehune crew deliver rum barrel with bonus surprise wahine inside!

Not the snappiest of names, sure, but am I right?

[ Edited by: tikiracer 2008-05-06 12:23 ]

Al,
Really loved the bird tiki. For #144, How about 'Papuan Paradise'? Or, to get more PG-13, 'Papuan pole-dancer'?

The Angry Idol

PS - how about more from APE? My ears are thirsty, too.

MA

This is beginning to sound like a tiki-fied version of snow white and the seven dwarfs....Happy Dwarf on a XXX Rum barrel with the hottest looking wahine playing Snow White.

CA

Hmmm... yes, the first image is tempting and tantalising for sure, but it was posted to 'date reference' the 'idea'.... vintage for sure...

Hint #3: do you call this Wahine a 'Tart' or a 'Sweetie'?? To Tiki or not Too Tiki??
You'll find the last hint for the name of Tiki#144 in the last two issues of Tiki Magazine and my articles of 'Tiki-Corner'..... This Tart? was Est:1944... another unplanned coincidence in the Tiki universe!!!!! Roe-Ae!!!!!

Keeper of the Charms?

CA

no......

close but no peace pipe......

Keeper of the Rum?

Well, since Ol' Mr. Bergeron invented the Mai Tai sometime in 1944, I'll look thataways.

Maybe the "Mai Tai Momma"? I don't know if that draws in your candy reference, though.

How about the Vic-tory Pole? Trader's Tiki? Mai Tai Menehune?

The Angry Idol

That's gotta be it ken!

I was going to guess 'peek-a-boobies' when I saw the topless pictures on the previous page.

MA

Such great guesses. If they're not correct, perhaps Mai Tai metua vahine? or Metua Vahine Natura? I think I'll go get some rum for inspiration.

CA

Grog was almost there... LLT was a bit closer... a I'm not sure what happened to Angry Idol... all that knowledge, and ?

i just finished this guy! but do i want to try and haul it's heavy butt out to PalmSprings?

Way to go Al in finishing it.

I'm with LLT. Let's see the Keeper of the...???
