Will carve

That’s a great one Will. Mike, looks good in his new home. Feels good to be in the “Master Will Carve Florida palm frond carved club” doesn’t it ???? I love mine.

BTW everybody that's hemp rope in case you run dry.

Its always fun looking at your work. You are an amazing carver.

Mike, thank you for the critique you are spot on & it was a pleasure to carve it for you.

John, "Feels good to be in the “Master Will Carve Florida palm frond carved club” doesn’t it ???? I love mine" You earned your place there too, thank you.

Hilda, it's always good when you stop by. Thank you for the comps.

So, I was digging thru a box & found the jig I used to make the Palm Frond Moai pendant we all carved in my carve class at Hukilau a few years ago. It was EZ to carve & fun. I thought I'd carve one just for fun. It was so much fun I couldn't stop making them.

Sweet assembly line

Awesome, 2 Tiki thumbs up, or should I say 10?

PS 34 pages of tiki sweetness

Sweetness, You're too kind. Thank you.

So this is an in progress of the next Palm Panel Pendant project so ya can see how it/they got there.

I'll cut them apart when I'm done.

Way kool

I wouldn't cut them, it's a cool design as-is. Comedy/tragedy, Ying/yang, something like that. Very deep commentary on the duality of man. Whether you meant to or not. :)

Good concept man, but I set them free & look what happened.

I created a Kupenstine. In my best Boris Karloff, they're alive.

Cool masks!

"I was digging thru a box & found the jig I used to make the Palm Frond Moai pendant" - What does that jig look like? How do you use it?

Holy cow

You made 2 Wills

Tiki thumbs up sir

Mike, About that jig, Not sure what you're expecting. Are you think'n big C&C mch. with lasers, cutting blades, water-jets, a bank of computers? Well, not exactly.

I made the jig to draw them out with speed & consistency for my carving class of around 50 people. After I drew them I finished the top & bottom & drilled he hole for the cord so that the students could carve them with about 7 cuts. Most completed the carve & wore them to the Mai-Kai that night. You could tell who was in my class walking around with a giddy smile on there face proudly wearing there hand carved pendants.

This is 2 sliding door door pulls for my buddy.

Soon to be the best lookin sliding doors ever

That's exactly what I expected. I didn't figure to be the CNC type. I'm going to have to study that a bit and see exactly how you use it. Great story about all your proud students

Hay, any body seen Tiki-Tom-Tom's new book?

"Polynesiacs Tiki at home."

Been to pg. 160 ?

This carve,sliding door-door pulls started a few posts back. Fun project, didn't take too long.

I carved them together, one larger piece of wood, made it EZer.

When I was done I set them free. & they've been giving each other stink eye since.

You successfully separated the Siamese errrrrr MOAI twins

Awesome

Me like, a lot

We need the installation photo

We are in the middle of Hukilau week end. Tiki Tom-Tom came by. Crazy Al came by. The girls from the Honu Hideaway in Dunedin just left and the sliding door guy, Philip will pick up his door pulls and I will press him for an install pic. this wknd.

Awesome sauce Will! Enjoy Hukilau

I was just showing this picture to a bud and it was said "that picture is epic".

Can any one put names to these guys?

Last week I made a coco nut lamp for a friend. Didn't get a picture of it but my bud took a pic of me with my lamp in the back ground.

Damn you're lookin' dapper Will! Nice lamp too

A man & his tools, it's a beautiful thing.

Thanks Mike,.....Ops

I guess nobody knows anybody in that picture. I didn't take it & the caption on it reads.

The monsters of Tiki.

Great lamp idea and execution

I recognize a few of those tiki carving masters

I wanted to post my frond for the Art Swap. It went to Jon & I won his.

Very cool.

Can’t wait sir

U rock

I make a lot of Tiki stuff. I've been wanting to try my hand a Tiki lamps.

So I started with these two float balls & used my Macrmae knot skills.

Some how I'm not sure I'm getting it right.Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/60034/64c11f1ad3d10.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=79d397f84060732298b762f035a734a9

You are BAD Will LOL

Reminds me of something

🤔

Getting back to the door pulls I made: Phillip wrote:

The suspense is finally over! Here he is in situ! Nice & sturdy-much better than original! I put longer screws in since I had more depth. Original screws were shorter & got loose over time. I hope you agree it looks fantastic! Thanks, my friend!

I haven't carved in months. Been giving my hands a rest.

I had a door pull request. My traditional door pulls are Moais & this person is not so Tiki so we were of the mind to make it a Hawaiian paddle.

So it's a Hawaiian Paddle Door Pull.

Say it enough & it becomes an ear worm. Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/60034/6531989feefee.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=3e64a0ecf7b2639a1fc0cba3beb158fb
