I just looked at all 23 pages of your amazing work and I didn't see our tiki. I saw two similar tikis but I couldn't find ours. Did I miss it? We'd love to see any step by steps you have of ours. I also missed seeing any photos of you. So I'm sharing this one of you with our tiki. Cheers, Wendy

skootiki posted on 12/10/2013

thanks for the photo Wendy. I'll search and see if I have a picture of your TiKi in the carving stages. Sometimes I just get going and don't take time to document. I hope that you and Dan enjoy your purchase.

Great shape and carve Skoo!

skootiki posted on 02/10/2014

Thanks cy, the flowers were at the request of the customer and remind me a little of the "Laugh In" TV show......not really my thing, but the customer loved it. Got me a little inspired to learn how to carve some tropical flowers though.

That turned out nice.

Thanks Will carve, it was a fun carve for me.

skootiki posted on 02/18/2014

OK, I had to try the palm frond carving.....very basic, but it was fun. I'll try again!

WC
Will carve posted on 02/18/2014

Hay, good for you.
Good start.
Get use to them & they're addicting.
I use a 10 & 11 X-actos.
They eat the X-actos up but,
they sure are nice when they're sharp &
they sure do cut.

AlohaStation posted on 02/18/2014

Great start. I use the Xactos too - and hook blade.

S
skootiki posted on 02/18/2014

All this X-Acto talk sounds like I'm going to need band-aids too.

Wow! No band aids??? I have practically the entire product line in stock! Sometimes I feel I need to buy some Johnson & Johnson stock to recoup some of my expenses...:)
