This is bound to look sweet. Someday I'll have to print all of these up on good photo stock & mail them off to Leroy at O.A. in Whittier. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of them...

AA=Best kept secret on TC. This man can carve circles around most of us.

NOT!!! :) But thanks!

heres my redition of the leroy it was the very first thing i carved

When are we gonna see something new from AA?

Putting it in BOT means it's pretty much fair game, as far as copying goes. I think this tiki falls under the "Public Domain" category.

Here are some current import variatons:
Typical burned:

Larger log, stretch it out and add some swirls

Painted or plain?

More Reloys... Nice.

You are quite correct, Buzzy. Leroy & Sven gave us all Carte Blanche on this one. (See page 1 of this thread)…

...I asked permission from both Sven and Leroy. Here's their responses.

**From Sven: "Please, go ahead, I see the whole Book of Tiki as a blueprint for the Tiki revival."

From Leroy via Bob van Oosting: "Aloha Aaron. I talked to LeRoy this morning and he said it's fine with him. It's available for all to copy---enjoy! Bob."

So, with Sven and Leroy's approval, I got started…

After my little Ohana gets resettled in North Carolina sometime next year, unless I can manage to find some carving time in between. After that, you’ll see a whole sh*tload of tiki carvings from A-A. At least that’s my plan… :wink:

Here's a couple of Reloys I did recently: Note the addition of hair and bone motifs as cammo... Thanks for the urge post these Surfintiki!
