WC Will carve Tiki Socialite Ft. Lauderdale Fl. Joined: Apr 06, 2011 Posts: 1446	WC Will carve Posted posted on 05/08/2019 A year &1/2 ago I picked up several fresh palm logs. I carved 3 or 4 of them for Hukilau last year. Real fresh. Couldn't put a finish on them, too wet. I finished 2 of them now. They're really light now. I still have several of those logs. They are really dry & light. Too dry & corky. I let them go too long. I can hardly get any detail I kept it simple. So I cut the log in half. They are like 2 giant pendants. The left is the pendant for our carve class at hukilau this year.

HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1933	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on 06/01/2019 When David Phantomatic of Marooned: The Texas Tiki Podcast came to The Mai-Kai last July and inquired about doing a show, I knew I had to get Will involved in a walking tour. He has such a wealth of information about his work and the Tikis on display on the grounds. We just had to capture it on professional audio. Well, it's been a long time in editing, but the show has finally hit the airwaves ... Click here to listen in your Web browser: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/maroonedpodcast/episodes/2019-05-31T00_00_00-07_00 The podcast is also available on all major podcasting platforms: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher. It was an honor to participate with Will, David and manager Kern Mattei. It’s a real Tiki museum audio walking tour. Download and listen at your leisure, or put on the headphones and go for a walk around the grounds and check out Will's handiwork as you listen to him talk about it. Will, Kern and David An old Barney West carving in the Tiki garden, now preserved in cement. Will talks about King Kai Mahalo Will for all that you do. Okole maluna!

Thanks to every one who rubbed elbows with me. My carve class went well. No body died. So Dave at the Mai-Kai called me 2 weeks ago. He wanted to give Richard at the Hukilau a trophy. I asked "like a bowling trophy". Dave said "ya". Kinda short notice but, I cobbled this together. Sorta Gilligan Islandish.

WC Will carve Tiki Socialite Ft. Lauderdale Fl. Joined: Apr 06, 2011 Posts: 1446	WC Will carve Posted posted on 07/09/2019 Thank you Hilda. I haven't carved since my carve class. This is the pendant I carved doing my class. I hadn't finished it & I keep thinking about the fire knife dancer in the Mai-Kai show. He stomps his feet on the ground & sticks his tong out. I wondered if I could carve that tong action.

Also I went to the Mai-Kai last night. My friend the Good Dr. saw my pendant & had to have it. Then it was his. And then, Tiki Shark Art Brad cruised by. That was a surprise.

But it's gaz-hun-tite when the pepper fly's. So I tried something different. The swivel part between the neck & head falls short. I used a 1&1/2 in PVC pipe & a pressure fitting because they're so well fitted. I glued them in place & man do they work well. Up & coming. #2 of the 3 panels my bud made up for me.
