I can't believe you got that undercut on the branch in the upper section! In pine as well, super cool. |

Thanks guys. Not that these panels are rushable, but, I really have slowed down as a result of my wife's health. I have another panel right behind this one. Not as big though. The undercuts are so tedious that you have to get the tool inside then turn it on, and likewise for removing it from the work area. I have learned a great deal through painful scrappage. (Elaborate firewood) Thanks again! Mahalo McTiki |

Thank you all for the comments! Means alot to me. I have ammassed at least 2 Trader Vics worth of stuff around this place. Seems time to purge, but, I am no salesman, nor marketing savvy. Some day. In the meantime, I enjoy it all to myself. If anyone has a liking to any that have been posted here, please feel free to inquire via here or PM! Jeff, the wahine is at a turning point begining next week. We will know more after that. She has lost weight down to the point that I'm ready to give her to the hospital for internal nutrients and hydration. She is down to 100 lbs. Pretty scary to witness. Its like sleeping next to a bicycle frame if you know what I mean. Thank you for all the well wishes. Soon....very soon....I would like to report that I am hunting for virgin logs and the wahine being well. Mahalo McTiki |

I must echo Professor G's remarks. I went through your gallery a couple weeks back and had forgotten how many great carvings you have shared with us. I know you will have more surprises for us but for now I believe you have really hit your stride on those panels. NICE ! |

Thanks. ...... Ohana I think for rare exceptions......I will tone the colors down to what is only achievable with wood stains such that the grain can still speak through the colors. Vibrant was fun, but, a lot of grain features are lost. Mahalo and thanks for looking. McTiki |

Hmmmm.... its hard to tell if I like them or not from the pics you posted here... I think you should send the panels to me (Signed, numbered and with certificates of authenticity of course) so I can hang them in my home and really get a good look at them... could take many years :lol: Outstanding work McTiki!! The Carving, Colors and Themes are terrific. I guess you could say "you've carved out a sweet little niche for yourself!" I can't wait to see more panels! TC Rocks! |

I am really lovin these panels! Have you considered using more texture to the background? That could give them a Van Gogh feel. |

Hi McTiki I'm back to see if there is another tiki design I can barrow for my Spy/Tiki painting and I found it on 4/16/12. That's a terrific design. Is it finished? We both need to get to work, Wendy |

Thank you. It's been too hot to carve lately.....well my urge got the better of me so immediately after pushing the old fashioned reel mower around our yard, I decided to sit down with a modest fan, and get busy. It wasn't that bad. I finished up the roughout of the canoe guy. And I started a secret project that the Wahine designed. Thank you for all the nice comments. Wendy, I PMd you. Mahalo McTiki |
