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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

4W, Those are very nice.

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

Well done!
