Thanks guys. Yeah, I like the curve of the wood. Moving on to something bigger and have started working on a chunk of palm to see what that is like. Any tips or suggestions for treating/finishing palm for leaving it outdoors? |

I like it! Looks like he should be riding a really fast motorcycle... As said before, nice use of the curve. |

Another moai finished. My first carving with palm and it is just under 3 feet tall. Certainly different than carving the eucalyptus branches from before. I have three other pieces of palm left. May attempt a different style with the next one. |

Hey Gang, Here is a tiki-ish update since my last post. A while back I decided to make some custom frames for some Doug Horne prints I bought. I based the pattern on designs found in the artwork. Some time after that I made a 'hops' tap handle for home. Yes, this is non-tiki but throwing it in here anyway. Most recently I finished this relief type carving of a swordfish and sea scene. I'll call this one tiki-ish since the Beachcomber still has the old swordfish out front. :wink: Maybe a real tiki again next... |

Thanks everyone. PJC, not sure what kind of wood it is, found it laying in the bushes while out on a walk and grabbed it. Will, I'll check yours out too. |

Thanks Cy. Looks like I haven't updated in a while. Worked on a few things here and there, trying different things. A friend dropped off some short palm chunks and asked if I could make him some tikis. They are the biggest things I've tried working on so far. Roughed them out with a chainsaw which I hadn't used before and then back to using chisels. I think they turned out ok but not great. Found this banksia pod and thought I'd try a moai out of it. May try some more with this stuff. Made some beard and moustache trophies for a local competition and then tried another moai with a little Bosko style out of the leftover wood. Not tiki, but tried a Celtic pattern pepper grinder as a gift. |

Torch holder. This part of the palm log was a lot stringier than the other chunks I worked on. Kind of strange to work with but turned out alright. |
