4WDtiki - Bill's stuff. - first new pics in years

It's like an army of cool tikis!

Oasis is over :( and that tiki army is smaller now!

I started the repopulating of the army at Oasis. Here's a shot from yesterday of the tiki I was carving in the carving village(TM) on the left, and on the right, the tiki I'm trading to Dawn for one of her gorgeous paintings.

Did a little more on Dawn's tiki today:

Here's the one it's supposed to look like!

Here's Dawn's tiki all done!

Here's the other one from the post above.

Not sure if it's done yet, I'm thinking of carving in some details.

Really nice work!

man thats a nice lil tiki army you got going there....great work

Bill, it's always fun checking your newest carvings. You have your own unique style that I really like. I specially love your female pieces they are so well done.

Great new stuff. I really like the way the arms are curved on the new one.

Beautiful work Bill! You need to hollow out Dawn's tiki like a Buzzy drum so it doesn't cost so much to ship! :D

Thanks everyone!
Mike, no need to hollow out that tiki, it's bone dry and incredibly light, I'd say

Tikis are lookin' good.

Those look awesome, as always Bill.

Yea I like it!

He look strong! Nice carve Bill...

J.

Sweet! I like that you have carried the "ray" theme from the eyes to the neck

I realy like the look of this fella. He looks old as hell. Is this a new carve?

Beautiful finish. You are on the marq with this one!

Nice piece!

Very very nice bunch of Tikis!

Thanks everybody!

seeks, I started this one at Oasis, but it's been sitting a couple weeks while I figured out if I wanted to put some detail on it or not. I'm glad I did.
And "old as hell" is what I was going for, thanks for picking up on that!

Look what I found sitting by the front door when I got home today

my new tiki Thanks Bill

As always...SUPERB!!!

I've been working on this for two weeks in between rainstorms, and finished it today.

It's 10 feet tall!

Here's the full shot.

This tiki will live in La Jolla (lucky!) and I have two more 10 footers to carve for the client.

Dayam!!! Very nice Bill

Obviously he grew so big eating all that citrus fruit :D

Wow, now that's what I call a fantastic tiki carving. Wendy

That turned out BOMBS,Bill!
Bring EM ON!
:)

Another great piece 4WDtiki. I think your work is great.

Way to go Bill! Nice Job

Excellent!! Love the big tikis. They really have great presence.

Killer! That already has a cool ancient vibe to it.

Impresive... Really!

WOW! Top Notch! Your work is inspiring me to get off my butt and carve!
That one is going to be hard to part with. I'm looking forward to the next
two ten footers. Now get back to work! 8)

Hey 4Wheeler, I Really Love this last guy. You took plenty time to finish him but With the level of detail and toe Excellent Finish, you're Allowed!..

Wow, I'm feelin' the love. :D Thank you all!
I delivered the tiki yesterday, here's a pic in it's new backyard with me for scale.

WOW !
I'm really like'n the size of that one.
Very nice work as usual.
Looks like you might have spent,what,couple hours on it on it ? lol
You must have lots-o-friends to help you move those 'lunkers' around.

DUDE!!!!!

Awesome!!!!

Kino, I got that guy into the truck by myself. :D But it was lighter than when they dropped it off. :wink:

So here's the start of the next 10 footer. Started it yesterday between football games, and a little more time on it today.

Those 10 footers are awesome.
Someday I will have room to carve that big.

Some another "ten footer" and you have the pillars for start building a house of men in your garden... :roll:

Just when I finally find a 6 foot log, some guys comes along and ups the ante with a couple of 10 footers! :lol: Those are seriously impressive!!!

Thanks, amate, laojia, and geedavee!
davee, you need a bigger balcony. :wink:

Here's where I am on the second one after working on it most of today.

The six foot fence behind it is for scale!

Darn Man, THIS one is looking Better and Better, Awesome one coming hee for sure..
But will it measure up to this Last one??

Only time will tell?? :P

You tell me, Ben, here it is. :D

4W, Those are very nice.

I like the patina look on the Marq. He looks ancient, but well preserved.

Well done!

Cool thanks, that's the look I'm going for.

Someone's La Jolla backyard is gonna be AWESOME with those three giants!!!!! Great work Bill - 2 down and one to go?

Awesome as always Bill!!!
