Forgot to mention, big thanks to Zaya, for lending me her woodburner. It worked great on the lettering, much easier than a chisel! |

Started this Marq at the chop yesterday: It looks the size of a mug in the pic, but it's 3 foot +. Side view: |

No problem at all! Anytime you need to borrow it let me know. I'm sure the burner is thanking you for using it too, and not neglecting it like I have. :) The tiki turned out great! I bet the new owner loves it. Zaya |

Thanks, Lennie, Benella, and Kino! So I finished the Marq I started last weekend at the chop: I love the way this one came out. It's kind of funny to me how good tikis just happen. I just started carving without a plan, just to be busy at the chop. |

I've been busy working on my entree into the Tikot show at Freaky Boutiki Gallery http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=33997&forum=17&98 The card drawn for me was "Strength"."The design of this card is fairly constant across tarot decks. The key characters are that of a woman and a lion, with the woman looking calm and gentle, yet dominant over the lion. The lion represents our strong inner passions, the woman purity. The woman, confident in her abilities, easily tames the lion with virtually no physical strength. I received my inspiration from Tiki-Kate's thread on Cannibal carvings: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=33940&forum=5&hilite=cannibal I combined the first two to come up with my version. |

Nice carve Bill! Your Marquesans have a calming effect on me. Maybe its the greenery behind it, but this guy is just sitting there real patient, like a silent guardian. All the lines work together to make this guy pop, not too many cuts, not too little cuts... just the right amount. |

Hmm, seven weeks since I last posted some tiki here, I've been Slackin! Here's two smaller pieces I finished today. They both are half-round logs, flat on the back for wall mounting. Both are very light, and could be shipped for cheap! :wink: |

Bill, the Marquesan is super pretty. Great lines, and from the front I'd swear it is a full log. Loving the mask on the left too... great eyes! |

Thanks surfin, conga, Mike and Lake! Mike, check out page 36 of this thread for what I thought was my Robb Hamel photo. Lake, funny you say that. I had this split log hanging around for months with me not sure how to carve it. Finally it occured to me to treat it just like it was a full round log. Also, all your wall-hanging pieces were the inspiration for me to try one myself! |
