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.

Great composition there.
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...:)

I had a great time at Tiki Caliente!
It's a wonderful compliment when other TiKi artists like your work.
This TiKi went home with Cindy and Tiki Ray (the old guy on the right is me)

The mean looking' TiKi on the left went home with Tiki-Vato

The mod-marq on the right is on his way up to Oregon with Cy
THANKS AGAIN SEE YA NEXT TIME!
