Thanks Will. I think this is the one you were asking about. This is the biggest one that I have done to date "Kon" is just over 7'. He is a fraction of the one you are currently working on though. I can't wait to see your finished product!

You've got a lot of good looking projects going on there. Keep them coming.

Just looking at all that big timber makes my back ache! If your giant fish eating tiki doesn't have a fishing license you'd better keep him out of site when the Fish and Game warden come by. Ditto on the big cool turtle.

Finished up this guy this morning. I have decided to call him "Tattoo". His head is mostly covered with graphics and so is his left chest giving the appearance of tattoos. He even has a tattoo sleeve on his left arm. They will show up better once I'm able to get the stain and finish on him. It's 32 degrees today so that will have to wait. Tattoo stands 4 feet tall and is approximately 175 lbs currently, but will lighten up as he dries out. Tattoo is also about 20" in diameter, now thats some girth!. Stay warm and tiki on!

This is a "2Faced" tiki that I did this morning. Its a little different from my original sketch, but that's cool. Tiki work is fluid and sometimes you just go where the wood takes you, whether it's north or south! Stay tiki my friends.

nicely done, i like your tattoo guy as well he reminds me of the martians from mars attacks, or maybe Jeff Dunams Akmed the terrorist puppet

Haven't carved much in the last few weeks, been getting ready for the fishing season to start up. I did get this guy painted up though.

I finally got around to finishing Tattoo this weekend. He stands approximately 4 1/2' tall and weighs about 250 lbs. He looks pretty cool guarding the back door too. Aloha and stay tiki my friends.

Finally got around to finishing this guy. It wasn't meant to resemble two monkeys, but sometimes things just end up that way..... Stay Tiki!
