I had a naughty Aunt who said she could always tell if a man was right or left handed. She taught me how so I see your tiki is right handed!
He has my favorite tiki face. He looks wonderful. Wendy

You know [when you carve] wood goes thru to the other side, right?
So you get extra credit every time you carve a hole thru a Tiki.
Extra credit applied.
Good job.

This turned out great. And interesting how the stain accentuates it’s, uh, inherent qualities.

Will carve posted on 05/18/2018

That skull thingie is out there.
Could be your best yet.
Try some rub on polly on a scrap left over.
It would give it a low luster shiny furniture finish.

Wow you have done so much since I last checked. Love the Big Guy, he is handsome though a bit stubly as Hamo "pointed" out. You are being gentle with this "piece".

Skull is so much fun. It' looks like my baby I have next to your swap tiki from last time.

The matching set reminded me of the Harvey's salt and peppers but with more detail.

Keep it up you are on a roll. You are so good at this art. Wendy

That skull is killer, and love the big guy - especially the way you worked with what the wood gave you.

hang10tiki posted on 05/22/2018

Bammm- thanks, skull was fun

Next

The 2nd ash trunk a friend gave me
5 foot
Funky shape
Will take time to even lower 1/2 out
Not keeping his junk on this one

After I finish the big guy
This will be the next project

Kamani wood

The tree known in Hawaii as kamani has a broad distribution throughout southern Asia and Africa, and it has many other names; its scientific name is Calophyllum inophyllum, and three of its more well-known names are tamanu, poon and Alexandrian laurel. People who live in areas in which this tree is native often consider it sacred, and it has many medicinal uses. Hawaiians traditionally use the wood for home construction, decorative crafts and containers.
