Awesome tikis!

damn!

you are blowin' up!!!

That looks like some hard wood on your tikis. What type are you using on them? You did a great job on all of the carves but I think the sanding and finish really show them off

Thanks guys
@GP, the moaï is in Elm wood, and the one under in cherry wood

Nice stuff. GROG especially like your Moais.

Many thanks guys
@tikigodz, these woods are very nice to carve especially cherrywood, elm is a bit harder
@Creative Chimp, this is my restaurant in la rochelle called "La caisse à jus", maybe in the futur i'll make a tiki bar/food
@Tikilizard, it was very difficult to carve, this piece of driftwood is like a sponge, i used a cutter blade to do it

Un tiki bar/food à la Rochelle!!! Avec une déco maison j'imagine...

Superbe le petit dernier!

Very nice work Nikko!

Thanks Jérome, déco maison bien sur mais une master piece by Laojia sera la bienvenue

Beautifully done. Is that the black palm? I have a small piece of it that has not been carved and it looks very similar.

Thanks Amate, yep it's black palm wood, very nice looking when it's done but f..... difficult to carve

Shrunken,

Your work is awesome, but particularly that last one, it looks so authentic that it could be put right in a forest in Hawai'i and be mistaken for an ancient relic...

Aloha,

Paul

Thank's Pwest

wow...

There's a huge range of really great stuff there, I don't know where to start...

I've said this before and I'll say it again (and I mean this in the most respectful, complimentary way)...

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE IN FRANCE???? I mean seriously...there are a few of you guys over there whose work is just off the charts.

I swear, if tiki carving were an Olympic sport, the French could win....

Thanks a lot pjc, you can see here, http://tikitribe.forumgratuit.fr/f7-art-tiki-du-forum, what 's happened in france
