Ok, So I took my wife to the Mayo Clinic in Jax, FL. We stayed in a nice hotel, and when I ventured outside to survey the property, (I always tour the property...don't ask) I noticed this Art-decoish outdoor lamp. I snapped a pic and sent it to her in an attempt at getting a smile out of her. So, later on in the evening, I sat with my sketch pad and toyed with it a bit. It wanted to be a cannibal. Then this happened... More to come! Thank you for browsing. Mahalo! McTiki [ Edited by: McTiki 2011-04-12 15:27 ] |

Thanks guys. That means alot. Mrs Tiki and I may end up on TV for Mystery Diagnosis in the near future. Thanks for the well wishes. As far as therapy goes....yes! It is awesome therapy. I wish I didn't take a break, but, who knows...it may have been a really good thing too. Here are the last of the carving/sanding updates until he's stained up. Thanks again! McTiki |

Started and finished some things today.... McPlaque #3 21" x 7" x 3/4" Cedar after 10 mins of doodling and 30 mins of cutting. Smells so choice! Details highlighted with Jacobean Stain. After distress sanding the excess Jacobean, Red Mahogany stain wiped off immediately from the Tiki. Thanks for looking. Mahalo McTiki |

That's awesome Wendy! Thank you! Here is a Tiki named "McMarcus" He has Abalone inlays (hard to see with a crappy phone camera) I'll take some cleaner shots after the inlays are permanently mounted. Mahalo McTiki |
