Hey 4WDTIKI! Love your work man! Lotta range and scope in your carvings. You mention selling your work in quite a few post. I want to carve fulltime like it seems you do. Are you doing it fulltime and making a living at this or is it part time deal? One of things I have noticed about this site is no one really talks about price when it comes to selling their work. Any chance you could clue me in on values of your past and present work? I am trying to judge what I could expect to get from my work as I get better. Is there a section on this site to sell your work? Any help in this area would be much appreciated---Tucson Tikl |

Sunday update. I finally finished this one. It's been hanging around half carved for months, while I tried to figure out what to do with it. Plus I got this one stained and burned, but I don't think I'm done with it. |

Well, the above tiki WAS done after all, I ran out of time before the TF parking lot sale, so I took him as is, and he now lives in Pasedena! I scrambled all week to get as many tikis completed as I could, here's most of them. This girl will be residing in Vegas soon. Here's our booth at the Tiki Farm parking lot sale. My wife makes the vintage fabric bikinis, halters, pillows, purses, etc. Someday, maybe she'll start a thread of her work.:wink: |

Hi there Bill, I love the bold lines and like Benz said the burning really makes these guys pop. You definitely have your own signature style. The lady tiki cracks me up. It looks like she is yak yak yaking (as women can do), maybe scolding her man tiki, haha. MrsHoptiki |

Aloha MrsHoptiki, glad you like the lady tiki. Maybe I should carve her a husband tiki, holding his hands over his ears!?! harro, thanks, and yes, four tikis found new homes that day. Flat, thanks, come around more! Benz, I love the way the teeth came out too. And my Mom did want me to be a dentist. :lol: Thanks, conga, I'll drink to that. Mr Crud, if you look again, there are triangles around the eyes, so Buzzy wins too. Sorry. buzzard, it's the inspiration I get at the chops, that fuels the next day's carving session! I should have an update pic tonight! |

seeks, those 'burn lines' are actually carved with a V-chisel, and painstakingly filled in with a small brush and dark stain. But thanks! Mooney, you expect nothing less of me? Damn, the pressure's ON! :wink: Here's this guy all finished. I stained it with two slightly different stains, golden oak on the face and body, and medium walnut diluted with some golden oak on the headress. Then, wasting no time, I started the next one, a fairly traditional Marquesan. |
