Thought you might enjoy some pics from Tiki Kon this weekend in Portland. Joe from Elroy set me up with a beautiful place to work and although there was record heat I had a blast carving and talking to mostly local tiki people. |

That's a great offer Jeff, but it will be a short stay for me and I will not be in the Tampa area. I think you need to make a roadie back to Fort Lauderdale and let me buy you a few at the Mai Kai! |

Ha, I should have explained that Will-It is a store bought cheapy of unknown wood that I wanted to experiment with. I got the idea a few weeks ago while watching a game and checking out the beautiful maple bats that some major leaguers use and thinking how nice they would be to carve.

Good idea pjc, don't carve too deep though. Mad Dog I was going to use maple but the cost was prohibitive. I will finish this one and then do one more that will have the feet in the fat part of the bat and the face towards the handle. |

For me the fun stops when I have to use my reading glasses to carve but a recent visit to see Aloha and Will carve made me take another look at the importance of finishing. Here are some I completed and some older ones that I went back through. |

I REALLY like the last one that you had to cut in half - has a cool disney/cubist feel to it. Would look great the way you have it (back to back) or flanking an entrance. Well done! You have quite a few tikis in there!!! |

I had a week off with lots of stuff to do around the house so what do I do? There are times when I love carving palm and think it's like cheating and 2 minutes later it seems like I'm trying to carve a mushroom. This one came about after a conversation with Will carve about how different a tiki comes out depending on if you start with a square or round blank. He suggested starting with a triangle (Why didn't I think of that?) Here is the odd result. |

Hi Cy, it looks like you live in a beautiful wooded area. Your tikis are very special and unique. It's fun to look back over your work. I hope we see you at Caliente, Wendy |

Thanks Wendy I made a great decision to move from So Cal to Oregon way back in '76. I behaved myself pretty well at last years Tiki Caliente so am hoping Wildsvilleman will have me back. |

Thanks pjc, the palm came from my bro-in-law from So-Cal about 3 years ago. You would think it would be good and dry by now but nope. I have done a few palm and really dig it but they mold really bad around these here parts and so I have to take them inside until I have a few coats of varnish on them.
