A rich finish and full of character Rio!

Fantabulous! Will there be a Youtube video? I rather enjoy your videos. :)

thank you my friends!
@ congatiki: its about 1.60 meter tall.
@ For the love of tiki: unfortunately not for this piece.i started so fast with my chainsaw i had no time to record it(it was a chainsaw massacre!).next time i will take time to set up the videocamera.
best wishes!

Rio,
I like your Tiki style,
especially showcasing your detail skills.

Now that's a REALY NICE tiki !!!

thank you my friends,
always try to give my best on carving tikis, not just only carve .as one should perform the haka with spirit, i put my spirit into carving! :)

Thanks Rio, I can't carve anymore because I just gave myself a hernia and bit my tongue trying to emulate haka.

:)

Very cool. (~~)

WAY Excellent stuff RIOT, Love the detail and finish!

here a little try on carving some wastewood. never knew what to do with small squared timber pieces.
maybe i apply a piece of metal to the bottom for a better stand.

most of mine started as smalll squared pieces, just start chipping...

I like the heads on these two!

made a little pendant

The carving is cool but,
[is that brass?]
the metal work is over the top.

That is really great work. Amazing how folks always seem to find ways of taking this stuff in different directions. Really nice job.

Wow, from the biguns to now the wee little ones - your creativity knows no bounds. Looking good!

thank you all!well, women deserve something special!

Nice video.
So, that's how they do it.

Exceptional work, video, and music Rio- Wunderbar!

Nice, now I am inspired.

Another excellent video - thanks. I really enjoy watching your videos...

beautiful

currently i`m spending my carvingtime on a Tekoteko, got inspired by some pictures of the Tiki Pop Book (Sven A. Kirsten)

This is going to be killer

it looks like it is going to be really cool...

Looks like a beauty so far. Now the fun begins--looking forward to seeing the
finished product.

hi folks, try to find an adequate face decoration for the tekoteko.
its not that simple but im on my way.
carving comes next!

Sweet.

Sweet indeed. Man that's a clean shop u got there!

Thank you, unfortunately its not my workshop. its the tattoo-shop of a friend of mine and i carved on a street party that took place outside.so if u come to Munich and want to get tattooed, come to http://chaoscrewtattoo.com/ and have a look on my tikis!

Very nice! Your carvings are always well finished:) look forward to seeing this one done

hi my friends,
Long time ago i started this piece, styled like the traditional Maori "TekoTeko".
Today, after an endless period of sanding and staining ,i oiled the Tekoteko for the first time.
super smooth surface and wonderfull color!
