I saw those on Instagram. I think.
Either way, that Marq bust is awesome.
How big is it?

Another beauty piece 4wd. I'm sure most of us got the bug to carve tikis after a visit to the islands and though I love where I live, I'm envious of the ability to carve in the warmth of the Hawaiian climate! Keep the updates coming!

This is all I got done for this month.


Another piece of the driftwood log that I took off the beach.
These guys are 3 feet tall. I carved them as one tiki, then split the log down the middle to get two!

A new one!
A small Marquesan style, just 19" tall, carved out of Lychee wood.
Lychee is a fruit tree, but this wood is very dense and heavy, and has a wax or soap feel to it. It has a orange/red color to it, which I exaggerated with a red oak stain.

Damn, I didn't think I was slacking, but 2 months since the last Tiki!?! I gotta check my records!
Thank you all for the props on the article. My 15 minutes has now passed!

I just finished this one today. And when I say finished, that's without my normal amount of sanding and staining. The client requested that as a way to get maximum size and decoration for his dollar.
It's 5' tall, carved from another driftwood log from my boneyard on the shore of the Kauai City of Refuge.

I think your 15 minutes occurs with every carving. I soooo wish I could snag another one from you for my entry way....maybe next year. How much does it cost to ship a 6 foot Tiki to Sacramento anyway?

Thanks Hilda, thanks Marlene!
Marlene, I bet the shipping is less than you might fear.
