This technique of carving "step by step" with each finishing stage is quite strange and very interesting... This seems to be a gift that you discover a little hunk every day...

And what's next? Can't wait to see the new gift from your skills!!!

tikigodz - Mahalo for the bad ass

amate - and the AWESOME

Tikiizard - thanks 2 or 3 hr a day when i can.

Clarita - Mahalo for your support

tikimecula - thanks i just take my time.

buzzard - you desert dog thanks

laojia - Mahalo you never know what you will get with each layer.

This headdress is taking longer than waffle head.

I love the roughness of the gouges that you leave in there! They are complimented quite well with the smooth parts .... it seems the desire for tiki carving is to gain the smoothest surfaces as possible, it's nice to see a quality statue that is still rough around the edges! Very well done!

WOW SEEK, I am going to have to agree with the Captain! Lovin the clean lines and the rough gouges. Something about this guy is really appealing. NICE!

You have some serious skills dude. I love watching your work progress.

Mindblowing, Seeks.

One of my favorite tikis, hands down.

I love the chisel texture on this guy... we need to talk gouges some time!

Take all the time you want to finish... it just gets better and better!
