All kinds of variety and all very traditional museum quality work! A U'u marquesan war club is still on my list of things to do... To date I think you, tikimecula and basement kahuna are the only ones to complete one, and yours is top notch! Love following your progress! The lino cuts are great, I have not done one of those since high school! Might have to give it a try again! Hope you have a great 2013, and keep carving!

He will soon decorate the studio of my fav tattoo artist! Glad you're back T-mec! Thank's for reposting the Marq'club and thank's for your comment! Much appreciated from you.

I started a "Cubist Moai" several months ago but got side tracked. Not sure if I stole the idea or not. I just pulled it out to look at two days ago so I guess I'll go ahead and finish it up. I also have several photos in my morgue file in the style of that Kanaki door frame. Great stuff so keep at it!

And the kanaki art was awesome and too disregarded by the tikiphiles ( From the book "Vision d'Océanie" by Vincent Bounoure) Thank you John Creative Chimp! Here quick news for the beams on the post above: The tiki bar that I've built for the gormandizers car show! I've add some stuff: More under the marquee on left... And the party in full swing!

Hot rod culture it's a part of Tiki culture and mainly a period overlap ... -Workshop update: First, a classic Tiki carved from willow: The can to pringles inside is a sounding speakers for iphone... Commissionned work. Then, two Pa Kahawai pendants, inspired from maori trolling lure: Made from matai, paua and bone. Avalaible today on my Etsy shop A Tiki Bob: It's a classy cool carving... But I think it's better with Ta Moko: Also Willow and ebony for the eyes. And finally, some fun with schrunken Head carved from birch Rough carving... With sewing and hair... As are natural hair,I've had to teach them a hairstyle: First trying... Nope... Other solution... Blah... :x Finally, natural hairstyle it's should be fine: Under glass bell, basis made from beech In the light of the day (difficult to take decent pictures with the glass bell...) That's all folks!

Pour les Pa Kahawai, ça fait un moment que je veux en faire et les tiens m'ont rappelé qu'il serait temps, par contre j'ai une petite question technique, qu'as tu utilisé pour l'attache de l'os sur l'ensemble bois-paua, du polyester? (je sais qu'à l'origine ils utilisaient du tendon, mais bon, je le sens pas trop de le coup du tendon) Encore bravo
