I love the simplicity of this piece. It's beautiful. I sometimes get carried away with my pieces and forget that sometimes less is more. |

The marq is beautiful. I like the shrunken head too. A nine foot tall tiki sounds like a bear to work with. |

Thx Poobah. It's super heavy. A definite beast. Delivering it tomorrow and to be honest I'm not looking forward to the haul. I'll be glad when he's up and secured. |

Your very good at what you do. This guy looks perfect to me so keep going. Every tiki I've ever done has a flaw somewhere, but is only noticed by people when I point it out to them. I wouldn't want my pieces to look like they where massed produced by a computer and not a labor of love by the artist. Stay tiki my friend! |

Aloha Texas Tiki, I know you see them but I don't see any imperfections and I like this piece. Like Will says just keep on carving, we like what we see. |

Thanks Swizzle, Tuga, Hang10, Willcarve, Hitiki, Cy, Amate, Bamalamalu! Means a lot that you comment. Someday I will do a worthy carving. Until then I thank you for your encouragement.
I DID go to the Lei Low 2nd anniversary and saw Big T! I also met John Mulder which was a thrill for me. Good times!! http://www.facebook.com/AlohaTexasTikiCo [ Edited by: AlohaTexasTikiCo 2016-03-12 21:18 ] |

The colors in the pine are amazing. I'm working on a piece of pine now too and the colors in the wood are beautiful. I look forward to seeing it finished. Are you going to stain it? |

Most likely. I'm not sure what I'm going to use yet. I may try some shellac or some oils this time. |

Well here is the finished product. Tried a few different finishings but wound up with a light coat of red oak topped with some amber shellac. Thanks BigT for your help and tips! As usual I still see lots of imperfections but overall I think it came out ok. The motorhead skull was what Mark at Howie's wanted. Personally I like it as I'm a fan.

Thanks y'all! Big T yes I wound up just letting it cure for a few days and I did some light sanding over the Marquesean cross to lighten the background of it a bit. Afterwards I dropped a new coat of Amber shellac which I think helped balance out the color... |
