PG Professor G Member the Tiki Wastelands Joined: Sep 03, 2011 Posts: 346	PG Professor G Posted posted on Sat, Mar 24, 2012 11:24 AM It looks great, H10. You appear to have a specimen of the rare Cyclopean Tiki* in your backyard. *Did you know the name Cyclops refers to the roundness of the eye and not to the singularity? This useless information brought to you by Professor G. It's what I do.
H hang10tiki Tiki Socialite Las Vegas Joined: Jul 18, 2010 Posts: 10325	H hang10tiki Posted posted on Sat, Mar 24, 2012 8:17 PM McTiki- Thanx for lookin Wendy- glad u like ProfG- Thanx for the cyclops lesson but it was not grabbing me, hope I didn't mess it up....
PG Professor G Member the Tiki Wastelands Joined: Sep 03, 2011 Posts: 346	PG Professor G Posted posted on Sat, Mar 24, 2012 8:41 PM I wasn't encouraging you to leave it as a cyclops; I just thought it looked like one. I would never ask a Brother of the Blue Bobs Society to carve in an unTiki manner.
TL Tiki Lee's Tiki Socialite Las Vegas Joined: Aug 23, 2003 Posts: 798	TL Tiki Lee's Posted posted on Sat, Mar 24, 2012 11:36 PM You'll have to carve deeper than the knot in order to get rid of it, or figure out some way incorperate it in the design. Personally, I would used it as an eye, and carved another one just like it to balance out the other side of the face. Yeah, the tiki would be facing out at an angle, but that could lead to some fairly interesting inspirations. When the trunk finally dies and it dries out, it's gonna be splitting like a MotherF*cker anyway, so it may not even matter that you "get rid of" the knot...
M McTiki Member Sunny Florida Joined: Aug 22, 2004 Posts: 1962	M McTiki Posted posted on Sun, Mar 25, 2012 4:22 PM Bamboo must be drinkin foo foo drinks at the skatepark but, he used to say things like "fire" when something broke or was unsalvageable....I personally don't feel this one is ready for that fate. I agree that it can be one or two eyed. It just depends on the amount of time you spend crafting the approach and executing it to its perfection and stunning us all with its brilliance! But yeah......it's gonna crack like a mother effer! Mahalo McTiki

You're doin it right by letting it rest and gel in yer mind before hacking it up. A solution will appear just don't let that knothole demand to be something you don't want. Cool stuff.
