I roughed out this tiki the past couple days. Looks like I'm done with me "Hawaiian" period! For now. :wink: Pretty standard 4WD style Marq type tiki, but it will have a twist. I'm going to carve just a little more on it, then pass it over to HodadHank to take over. We talked about this at the chop, and we both wanted to see what can happen. So stay tuned. :D |

Dawn, you got it! Some of you might have seen this thread http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=36593&forum=17&3 about a memorial event for Emery Kauanui. I'm giving them a tiki for the surf contest winner. Here it is so far. I just need to carve a 3"x5" space into the bottom for the plaque, and stain it. |

The trophy looks great! nicely done! ..... and a cool gesture on your part .... I saw your announcement on the SoCal events page, terrible for that to happen to that kid - good to see the tribute, I hope it helps the family to heal .... if the Sunday party doesn't ruin me I may head over for that ..... If nothing else to see that carving demo! (I'll be taking notes!) |

I love this Ku. Seeing how a few basic cuts with a chainsaw can eliminate so much time chiseling away and you can get stuck straight into the detail. Very inspiring. |

Swizzle, that's exactly right! Just the straight-in cuts save huge amounts of time with the chisel. Got chainsaw? :D Hilda, thank you! And thanks for stopping in. I haven't seen you in forever! BTW, I just put that Ku up for sale on craigslist tonight... http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/for/1770797101.html |

Me too. I'm not looking at selling any of my carvings, at least not yet. I'm just curious to see how long it takes YOU to whip up such a great looking Tiki carving. |

Thanks tikigodz, Wantango and amate! So here's what I'm working on. I started the bigger tiki this morning, and it's blocked and shaped. The smaller one is what I started last Monday at the beach. |

Man, which of your tikis sucks is the question? I'm a 4WDTiki fan. I still trip on the Marq I got from ya at Oasis. Paint some more of those guys, because my tattooed (with white) needs a bud! Tangaroa?! |

Lake, thanks! I'm trying to keep up with you! I finished up this Marq today, and just in time. I just loaded all 5 feet of it into the guy's Prius. :lol: Yesterday's pic. Today's pics. Minimal sanding and finishing on this one. Close up showing the texture. |
