Junk day

[ Edited by hang10tiki on 2022-04-07 12:28:31 ]

Looks like that guy is excited about junk day.

So close to being done with the carving. Is the junk done?

Will Lol

Wendy Lots to go

Had a little visitor today while carving:

Little deeper crack, little sanding here and there, finished the two hip tikis, coconuts added

This is such an over the top wonderful tiki. But wait, how many tikis is it really? That's a lot of tikis. Knees next. Will you do carving on the base?

Wendy- Thanks A’a has 30 lil guys on him. So, 31 tikis total.

Not sure about the base, the original didn’t have a base.

Sanding, Hands, Sanding, Leg shaping, Sanding and Outlined the leg tikis

Here’s a photo of Picasso with his bronze casted version of A’a. (Far right)

I've seen two replicas of this tiki. One in a museum in the Marquesas and one in a museum in the Austral islands. You really have capture the look of those amazingly well. I have enjoyed watching the progress of your carving over the last 11 years.

This is a picture of the replica on the island of Rurutu

Hang10 that is looking so cool! I remember when it was just a dead tree in the park!

MaukaHale-

Thanks, great photo, I’m glad you have seen him in all the right places.

MadDog-

It’s still a dead tree, just in my garage, for now, lol.

Here’s a photo I found at an estate sale years ago (by the markings on his face I think it’s the original, see the museum book)

A 16x20 in my Tiki Bar, A replica I believe in Tahiti:

We saw several replicas in Tahiti, I’ll have to hunt those photos down.

A master work of tiki art. The photography is also well done. I love that each tiki is special and has personality. Well done.

Thanks Wendy, I’m glad you like it

As I was moving him from the garage to the entryway, I saw lizard, hmmmmmmm

Ash wood, 10 hours.

Geeez, that was brilliant. I don't know what is better, the idea or the execution.

Will- I’m sure I saw it somewhere, lol.

Anyway, wife liked it, now she wants a Walkingstick version!

Eucalyptus branch

Cool, cool, cool

He is just sleek, and the wood grain stained to perfection for his skin. You have a lucky wife!

Hamo: thanks

Wendy: thanks, I’ll tell her you said that!

Lil more:

2 coats of poly and he found his spot.

I hope the green lizard is wearing sun block!

The little new lizard is going to be cute, does her walking stick get a large one too?

I like that you are such a hard worker which means I have to pleasure of watching more works of art show up here.

Cheers, Wendy

Any more progress on the next lizard walking stick? I'd love to see the photos.

So great to see you posting projects again. Love the last tiki and the Lizard carving and walking stick are wonderful.

Wendy- Hello, all done, here it is!

LG- glad u like, thanks for the drive by.

Class A walking stick sir! Great job.

He is hanging on for life hang10tiki! Love all your walking sticks. What's next?

LG- thanks.

Wendy- well I had high hopes, the wood however had other ideas. This fan palm was not in good shape. Didn’t know it until I was a few hours in. Almost tossed it in the trash can twice! No detail, oh well, he lives outside!

Wow you did that fast. He's a wonderful addition to your backyard. He is very manly! I just posted the steps for my latest painting. It's all done.

What is next for you?

You're doing some killer stuff Jon.

This is my first post. I used to be GROG but I forgot my password after 2 years of being gone and every time I tried to reset my password it said I had an invalid token. So I'm back as ernimator, I guess.

Hey GROG it's about time we hear from you. Will you be at Tiki Oasis 2022 in San Diego? What have you been up to? danlovestikis aka Wendy Cevola

PS hang10tiki what's next you carving machine

Thanks Wendy.

I haven't made any decisions about Tiki Oasis. I don't even know the date.

Aloha, Hang10!

Okay, like Grog I had issues getting back on TC, but so stoked to quickly catch up on your work- holy moly!

Killer work, as always- I'm trying to fit some TC time in, again! Cheers!

August 3rd through Auguse 7th. Tiki Oasis. Love to get a photo with you again. I posted you a message on Gallery.

MH- thanks for looking. Hamo- thanks and cheers. Wendy- thanks, not sure what’s next. Grog- thanks and aloha. Ano- thanks and glad you are surfing TC.

Great to hear from you all and I'm glad for the drive by!

Stay Tiki my friends.

I will keep checking back. It's good to rest your hands after so many detailed projects. I'll be looking forward to when you get back to work again. Cheers, Wendy

PS the swap is on

Great timing Wendy:

No frills short walking stick, 2.5 hrs.

My dad would say "That thing is a crooked as a dog's hind leg" LOL

Mad Dog: Funny u say that, I almost made it a deer leg!

Lol

Needed a grip

So

Little paracord wrap

Cheers

Jon

Whoops! It's a walking stick. I guess I should have checked out the whole post before commenting.
