Very nice carves ST! You definitely have some nice bold lines going on. Are those all recent? Tell us where you're located. Do you have some more carves planned?

Welcome to TC!

I busted out one a day last week mon tunes we'd Thursday Friday. Did them on my lunch break with a grinder. Gave the neighbors a breake on the weekend. I leave in az. I found about 11 pieces of Palm wood this weekend going to make some more already started another one yesterday. I have two pices of wood about 6 feet by 30 inches and a bunch of smaller pices about 30 to 40 inches tall. Still trying to find my style trying new designs each time some painted some not.

Mr. Shag is unlike anything I've seen other than the root top tikis. This is a really fun design. I bet your kids think you are a cool dad. Wendy

I started making tikis last March. So it's been one year that I have been making tikis. Since I have made over 150 tikis. Kind of an obsession I guess you could say.

Wow you are really working hard. I especially like the last two. Now that you have made more than 5 you can go back to your first post, click on edit at it's bottom and then that allows you to change your title. I like to put the date of my last post there so it cues people that new things are up.

Keep posting, you have a wonderful body of work. Wendy

Dude, you're a machine! Fantastic work--what tools/equipment do you use? You mentioned grinder early on, but I'm pretty sure that's not a bench grinder, and the finished work is too polished for straight chain saw work. Amazing, really.

ST

hi thanks BUD. I JUST use a metal grinder and chainsaw. and then do my finishing work with axes, chisels and razor blades. hell i will use a spoon if i have to. what ever is in arms reach.
