Jeff do you draw on the bark with something when you start?(and if so, what) or is it all from your head? I like it, keep it up! And what could you get popped for? Defacing property?
Fastbackadam.

sometimes I use a grease pencil to draw on the bark... they work well... kinda like a big crayon...

:)

I heard you use instructions that you download from the interweb??

P

nah, I just come on here and copy everyone else's shit! lol...

T

that looks rather dangerous. I just spent a good part of the spring of this year doing the same thing for a totem pole... luckily, no mishaps!

GROG heard that you have assistants/proteges who do most of the carving and then you just add a few details at the end, sign it and say it's yours. :D

P

totally bro... I have 'em chained up out back... :wink:

My tip Jeff is that you get ya self some high vis vests and some witches hats, wouldn't hurt to maybe just
come across some official look'n signage. Cops are stoopid if ya look like your'e mean't to be doin it they will probably think you are.

GROG glad you're not setting puppies on fire.

Nice video Jeff.

P

yeah, they GROG, they kept kinda pushin' the jail issue.

"so you could GO TO JAIL..." "what if you GO TO JAIL.."

and finally that is what came out of my mouth.. and now that quote is taking on a life of it's own...

awesome... now my mother has YET ANOTHER thing to get upset about.. jesus..

You in the hoosegow bro?

D

I was thinking the same thing this morning. Are we going to be seeing you on an episode of Cops?

From what I understand he has been experimenting with carving garden gnomes, bears and fishermen. You can find him at http://www.iamalametikiposter.com

P

Nah, the rumor" s aren't true. I just took a little break from the guerrilla tiki thing for a couple of weeks... I've pretty much been told by the city that as long as I stay out of the "signature" places like downtown, Bayshore, the Riverwalk, etc,,, I will not get in trouble lol

My computer is broken so I can't really post any pictures of the stuff I've been making lately,..

I say leave your signature

I wish we had large machines running around carrying stumps
Have fun wit those brada

My Man! My car is in the shop had to buy some cigs busted out my shwin thought about your collection, this is my ride

P

yeah, I sold all my bikes but one....

I need to make some more... lol...
.

P

and that is definitely a newer Schwinn...

I personally prefer the older ones... the Schwinns made at the Chicago factory prior to 1981 when they went bankrupt were literally some of the best built bikes ever made... the old man literally refused to conform the WAY LOWER standards of manufacturing at factories in Taiwan and such, and went broke. The frames were literally braze welded by hand in a jig...

if you peruse craigslist, you can find them CHEAP... I have paid as little as 15 dollars for a functional vintage Schwinn... those frames are practically bomb proof..

yes that is a Wal Mart special

P

tahitian inn #3... going back to restain the first 2 tikis, and plan to fix those tool marks around his mouth... hard to see in there with all the shade and whatever...

N

Thats a nice stain. Its that expresso you where telling me about. The Carving is off the chain now is this carving a specific tiki God or is it just a style you have,

Thanks

P

that's my take on the marquesian style bro...

and here is what I am doing with my weekend. :)

A Tiki beast.

That is a biggun' pjc, NICE!

Dig the headdress, it's massive.

P

thanks guys..

here's a little one I'm working on.

weeping elm... it's amazing.. Will, I'll bring you a piece or 2 when I visit. you'll love it. it's hard as shit, but the color & grain is superb...

D

Epic. Great work. How much finish work are you going to do on the big one? Leave him rough or do a bunch of sanding/staining/sealing?

I've got a seven foot piece of palm I'm trying to figure out what to do with. I'm torn between sawing it into two or three chunks or carve a bigun. Decisions, decisions...
