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!

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.

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.

Thanks to these young ladies for taking time to model with my tikis prior to heading off to prom.

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.

Here are a few tikis that I've done either while in Virginia Beach, Virginia or for my sister in-law in Va Beach. Sure do love the east coast, good times with friends and family! Stay tiki.

How tall is the last one? Still want to check out your tikis first hand one of these days...we're almost neighbors.
