AHEM! Something wrong with bears? Jim, First off, welcome to Tiki Central. I can certainly understand wanting to branch out and try new things, "same old, same old" gets pretty boring after a bit. It looks like you've been influenced by the "Florida Aesthetic." Just a heads up, some folks really like it, and some don't care for it at all and prefer more traditional styles, some like brightly painted tikis, others hate them, so please don't run way if you hear a critical word or two on your tikis. You have skills, and from what I see in that first pic, you carve a damn nice bear (I happen to be rather fond of bears), maybe one day I'll order one from you. |

Hey guys.....thanks so much for the compliments!,... The three are made out of sassafras logs. The single first tiki is Virginia juniper(red cedar). |

Here's two tikis that i made today. The tall guy is just roughed out with the chainsaw and not quite finished. He's gonna hold a torch when he's done.....and I may give him some teeth instead of the closed mouth( not sure yet). Made from catalpa wood. The short fat tiki is a sassafras log about three feet wide. I guesstimate that it weighs about 500 pounds. Friggin heavy!! |

Mr Brudda Bear, that is not "florida style"... that is "Wayne Coombs influence"... Please remember that Benzart, Will, Aloha & myself are all Florida based, and we don't do Coombs stuff. :wink: |

Super!!!!!!!! I love tiki central! After seeing these carvings I can not wait to start my next one. I carved my first pelican this week I was not to happy with it. But It was my first. I like your variety of designs you have posted. I spend more time on 3 d carvings then I do on tiki carvings and I sell them for just about the same price. My wife gets on me about keeping it simple. But I am making more of a effort to become a better carver than to make money. Money comes and goes but skill will never leave me. I thank you for deciding to give Tiki Central your time, thank you for being of service! [ Edited by: nicework 2015-09-18 06:50 ] |
