So yesterday I started carving a partner for the flat Marq. It's not done yet, I just burned it to 'see' it better. I want to tweak it some more to make it more obviously female. When I do, I'll post a pic of the two side by side. |

I reworked the female a little today. The concept was to carve two tikis that would work as 'indicators' of the Men's and Women's restrooms in a tiki bar. Hope they're obvious without being too obvious! |

I got commisioned to carve two stumps in Carlsbad. They were two fan palms at the edge of the sidewalk, and were cut ~4 feet off the ground. I'm not happy with the way it looks now, but I hope to improve it some, and have it done by Sunday, then start on the second. |

Hey Bill, your newest work looks great! I gotta tell you, I've been a big fan of your work ever since I ran across your website about two years ago. I especially like the tiki that your standing next to in one of the pictures on the website. Thanks for the inspiration, keep those big tikis coming. |

Wow, thanks you guys for the positive comments! I worked on it some more today, and I'm pretty happy with the way it looks now. Tomorrow I start the second tiki, and I'm doing it Marquesan, so I'll have an easier go on the carve. :wink: |

Very cool Bill, glad to see you're keeping out of trouble. And your toilet tikis are WAY better than those goofy little icons. |

Mike, I don't care for the term "toilet tikis", I prefer "restroom door indicators". :P So I carved more today. It was pretty overcast all day, so I took one more pic of the Ku, since there were no heavy shadows. This one will dry out some until next weekend, when I'll burn and stain it. I got to work carving the second stump today. This morning it was just a stump, here it is at 4PM. Here's two shots from out in the street. |

OK - Sorry about the "toilet tiki" crack :lol: I love how the stumps became natural pedestals for the tikis, to set them up in a place of honor as they should be! |

Davee, yup, the Marq was one day (so far), about 5 hours. Probably 50% chainsaw, 25% chisel, and 25% angle grinder. Bowie,...yet. As in, didn't have to use the protractor yet. :wink: |

Thanks guys! Today I did a little minor touchup and sanding, added a little bit of detail, then torched and sanded. That big white area on the lips and teeth is the sun. I'll finish these up tomorrow, and hopefully get some better pics. |

Thanks tg, thanks Kinny! Yeah, I like that Olmec head comparison. I've actually been wanting to try carving an Olmec piece. I forgot to mention earlier, this is the first time I've carved a vertical piece (hence the vertical thread title). All the hundreds of tikis before these were carved laying on the ground (the LOG, not ME!) I wasn't sure I could even pull these off when I was starting them, but I think I did okay. :D |
