Not sure just what to say...everything looks impeccable. A true professional.

Carve on Mr Thorn.

Wow, that is like a huge, dream gig. Good for you bro.

And if the hotel people don't like those posts you can definitely send them to my house...because they're spectacular.

well done Mr. Thorn...

Awesome

Two words...very impressive!

Thanks great to hear from you all again. I will try and post more progress shots as this project develops. The flat scrolled area on the carvings under the fish tail are for mounting brass ship lights on and these carvings are to go behind the bar.

I am travelling to the states again in three weeks bit of holiday bit of business and will be visiting the LA area so will of course be at Don the Beachcombers and Trader Vics and popping in for a visit with my friends at Oceanic Arts. So if you are around between 11 Feb - 28 Feb drop me a line so we can catch up. I will be heading to Palm Springs for modernism week in the middle of this trip.

those are absolutely beautiful!

Your an impressive bastard, Marcus
keep up the crazy good work, It was nice meeting you a while back
at Don the Beachcomber.

that sign is amazing! It must have driven you round the bend doing all the weathering, worth the effort though!

incredible work Marcus! brilliant composed carvings!

Amazing. That sign is off the hook!

Thanks for updating and inspiring Marcus- No one is better!

Such wonderful talent...you sure know how to bring a tree back to life!!!

Awesome work

wow...insane stuff bro..

congrats on the bar...

This is the little cousin of my big 10 foot Maori in Hawaii - the Moari is one of my favourites to carve - the style is always a challenge and of course I love doing the tattooing

that is F'N RAD!!!!

but oh so time consuming! Beautiful peace man!

Stunning work as usual mate!

Awesome Maori carving. Good luck on the Tiki Beat bar. I have my Tiki Beat mug at home and no one else here has one. Cheers.

I'm so glad you still post your work on the old TC. Inspiring as always.

New pics?

Mr Thorn this is great work!!
Love the sign you did.
Keep the pics commin.

Hi guys - back again - see I said Id post more photos - this is a trophy I was commissioned to do for a Pinup Competition - they asked for a 50's style shoe and I ran with it - and of course I may have got a little carried away...

Enjoy - Back soon

Clean, inspiring work as usual Marcus! Good to see you enjoy all the variety that comes with wood carving!
I've come to enjoy many other subjects as well and not focus entirely on tiki carving. It helps with the Oceanic Art in the long run anyhow
as new techniques are discovered! Thanks for the update!

That turned out nicely Marcus! Well done!

Mahalo for sharing.

McTiki

Great way to change things up - Carry Away! Look forward to seeing it finished.

More progress shots of the Pinup shoe trophy

Back with the finished shoe soon

Sweet

Hi all - I will be heading back over to the States next month and will be heading to Don the Beachcombers at Huntington Beach on Monday February 10 for a cocktail or two - so come over I will have gifts for all - password is "GDay Mate" - hope to see you all there. Also wanted to check out the Trader Sams one night when Im in town

Very Nice shoe Marcus!
