Today officially kicks off Tiki Oasis. This year's festivities started out for me this morning on the set of Fox's San Diego Living. King Kukulele, Lady Borgia, and RetroDiva joined me this year. I was asked to do some on air carving, talk about the event, and bring some tikis and decor to dress up the outside stage area. Having done this last year, I knew what to expect so I came in with the aim of shamelessly maximizing my on air exposure and manipulating the layout to do some free commercials for the Factory. I didn;t take my camera, but I have a few ghetto style screen captures that I'll share and comment on now: After working with the producer and the host, the order of the interviews and the focus of each guest was finlaized. It started with KingK giving some general information about the event: Next it was my turn. Notice the layout here. I positioned two surfboards and tikis in the background when I arrived. I suggested to the producer that my carving stand would fit perfectly between them. She agreed and I had accomplished goal #1, getting center stage Renee asked me a couple questions about carving and I managed to slip in a shout out to Benzart. Another one of my goals was accomplished by mentioning him. I also have the big Benzart sticker surfboard in the background on the right: Next was lady Borgia doing a hair demonstration. Remembering where the camera guy stood last year, I put the Benzart board with the Factory script right where he would be shooting the most. I couldn't have asked for a better shot on screen of the logo. Finally, was RetroDiva talking vintage clothes. They told me to move my truck after I unloaded and set up. another goal was to get the POS on screen too, just like last year. I moved it back and hoped the camera guy would catch it in the background. king K played a closing song as I was overcome with the urge to hula The ladies all joined in too: Plenty more on air branding: Our promotion of the event concluded with King K playing a song... and myself dancing away! And so it begins....
I need to do some more playing of the goat to decide. It sounds really good, but different than the really good the cow sounds like. It's more of a tactile difference than a sound difference. the goat runs about $40 a piece
Some have told me it burned their retinas so bad it stained the image in their brains permanently. When they close their eyes real fast, they see last year's photo. As seen on TV... |

Here comes a catch up after a crazy weekend post: After the tv gig, I had a visit from my good friends the Boos. I took the opportunity to give BambooBen a Budweiser vs. Bud Light checkers set. The pieces are labelled beer bottles and when you are kinged, there are bottle caps for them. here's me and Ben: Later in the day, I did this year's promotional artwork and printing Limited edition of 50 Magazine covers for autographs: And the "Pumped Postcard" version:
There was also a pendant version. Louie the Letch of Frankie's drink named after him fame sports one in this picture: Next, I had to go deliver the martini Kings drum. Here it is finished: While I was there delivering the drum, I did a little stage decorating: They premiered the drum on that stage on Friday night: Here's a special back stage view of tiki celebrity Crazy Al playing a coconut with some bones next to the drum: Another satisfied customer: I then put the last coat of spar on retrodiva's new Moai. Shown finished here: While I'm at it, final shot of this drum finished: the drum line: Friday night I was tired and didn't want to wait in line to get into room party so I just kicked back with Bullet for a while: Speaking of vending, thet's what I did saturday. Stuff
All day I sold stuff and talked to tiki people and friends, like Billy The Crud: Then I partied on Saturday night with folks like these: At my finest hour: After that, I took cuts in front of hundreds of people in the Lemoncello Lounge line and watched the Martini kings... Sunday was more vending and hanging out with friends. After packing up and going home, Bullet came over for a couple days. We went to Bosko's the next day and checked out his bar and studio. Later, we went and toured babalu's studio and hung out with Matt reese. Then we went and checked out matt's bar. It was a great way to end this year's event. Then, like that it was all over and back to reality, and work. I put oil on the little Pahu drum: For the head, I wanted a reinforced edge because I'm using a thin piece of goat. I had to figure a way to attach the head without ripping it under the tension. I did some figuring on paper and then made a template: This is the piece after punching in the holes: Hole pattern: Here's a test I did to make sure the holes were aligned correctly I cut another piece of goat and redid the layout with more holes: After cutting a bunch of holes, I was ready to start the weave: Half way through. Topside when done: Bottom when done: Next I measured and cut the 8 pieces that I will use to attach the head to the drum: The head soaked for a couple hours and was ready to be stuck on. It took about an hour to get it all lashed up: Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/4531/4a8c709f.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=2d5b550c8f023704332a50a77a09143d On my calendar, a new year started this week. |

So did you sell your Michael Jackson tribute tiki? :P All your drums are so excellent, but I think this one is the best looking, closely followed by the Martini Kings drum. |

i'm truly blessed to have friends like buzzy and zaya. my extended tiki oasis at the house of buzz was fantastic. buzzy's diet of pizza and pepsi is also my diet of choice. our trips to bosko's, babalu's and matt reese's were the perfect wind down from a tiring weekend. i could sit around and talk to zaya and buzzy all day. i hope i've earned a return visit next year.

Buzzy, Have a HAPPY Belated BIRTHDAY . I was gonna chime in on how Awesome your drums Are, especially that tunable mini drum, What an Incredible engineering feat you pulled there, But the B'Day stuff was all that was going on so I figured I'd chime in with that instead, Especially since yours and Sherry's were the same day! and I've been partying all weekend without you guys. :( |

A couple days ago sunset...
Thanks for the B'day wellwishes Benzo! I forgot to post the final shots of that drum on this thread. It wasn't quite tight enough as I'd like, so I did a little tying here and there and came up with this: The best part is that you can now tune it. You just slide the bands in the direction of the arrows and as the triangle gets smaller, the tension increases, tightening the head: On saturday, I carved this Moai guy for a job. He's 34" tall and will be a light color. I have to do anither matching one too: I haven't done many tikis lately, so I cleaned a couple logs on Sunday to make some While I was on the second log, I got struck by some inspiration and cut the log into two pieces to make....more drums. I got on the first one right away, because I had an idea and I wanted to see if I could execute it. I started with a little tiki drafting: It was a long run of time, but it's now over. I started carving all night in the living room again. More lines and a little chopping: The next day I had this much done: Next was hollowing it out using my expanding star method Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/4531/4a941a12.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=9b00c609740cadf74cf7122f1740d2ab It goes fast if you can take out big chunks: Took less than an hour to get it to here: Then last night, I carved the same damn tiki head 8 times Just before sunset last night, I got the layout for a new Pahu drawn on too: But first, I have to do a post where I thank all of you for the Birthday wishes. |

Here's the sun setting on another summer: I haven't done a Hawaiian tiki in a long, long time. If I don't count the Frankie's chairs, it's been over a year since the last one that I finished. I forgot where the trouble spots were in that time so I'm doing a refresher piece so I can remember all those little tricks that I learned how to do so long ago.
Only when the temperature goes above 80. So yes, I slowed to a stop all week! It's cooler now. forcast is in the low 70's on the coast so it looks like I'll get some stuff done.
Yo BigT! Onwards and upwards! I wanted to make sure the pahus work before I spend too much time on the fancing up part. I've seen the problem areas now and am confident I can work my way around them. Happy Labor Day!

Getting the legs skinnied up: More leg work, hands moved back,starting the chest, and putting a bend at the elbows: More arms,feet and hand work; some work done on the sides of the legs, and the stomach started: Mouth started, legs done: More mouth work, the nose done, and chin details done:
Extra added bonus is that he stands up too! Now on to the headdress, teeth, and fine tuning. |

Hey Buzz! Happy Belated Birthday! Your stuff is lookin' awesome as always, but ya know what I like the best? The beautiful smooth LOGS. Man, it must be great to be able to carve something into the wood and have it STAY there! I don't know how you get 'em so smooth without hours and hours of work. Must be the glory of California wood. The crappy logs from out here just keep "fraying" all the way down to the split-apart centers. Anyway, all is looking super-cool, especially the Hawaiian "refresher course". Later! |

We're getting into good sunset season: Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/4531/4aae8dfa.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=78bf73e238307662d281b344fe1f5398 Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/4531/4aae8e23.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=893e56df24f1c5f65f147584cd25245c Tiki update: I started working on the headress. here is some early progress: And now finished: Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/4531/4aae8e93.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=4d53cc6170e9d9150490cb49c1555c27 I was just asked if I really carve in my living room. The answer is yes and I do it on the carpet in front of the televison:
the big problem area was where I only left myself with about 1.5 inches of depth for the face. I wasted too much log on the headress. I worked through those areas, but they were a little shaky.
The logs I've been using lately are the best of the best from the old log pile. I lucked out on the last load I got. They definitely are not all like this. I've been running crappy logs to the dumpster for weeks now.
thanks Andy. I'm going to try to do a few more hawaiians in the next few weeks. Unless I get sidtracked on another tangent...
thanks Mooney! thise drums have been drying just fine and I'll be finishing up the two new ones later this week. take care! I'm almost out of bad logs. |

""""I was just asked if I really carve in my living room. The answer is yes and I do it on the carpet in front of the televison:""""" See Sherry, It doesn't leave much mess? It would be SO Much cooler and the mutts would Love it. Buzz, I love your tool storagesolution, Keeps them All right there within your of Kiva's reach, easy to put back, "Kivss, the chisels don't go Under the house"... well a few kinks maybe. I'm Loving this KU? you sre doing. When you are stuck and have to work your way ouy of situations, the thought process registers in your brain deeper and you become a better carver for it. See it's working already, see how nice and orderly everythin is, justPerfectQ ! |
