skootiki's carving log

thanks Cy, Andy and Jeff. Yeah... Taboo was a fun event, Cy. I appreciated the chance to vend there.

kind of rough

Rough but very nice. I like!

trying my hand at a modern-ish stye TiKi

Thanks for looking

not sure how I'll finish this guy ??????

Like your ish tiki, cool how big you have gone with the eyes,can't wait to see how you finish them and the nose piece!

thanks Mudbone. I'm gonna try to finish him up this week-end.

trying some face tattoos on this guy

Looking Good Scott.

Tiki profile looks like Elvis'. Nicely done!

thanks Derek and Coconutzo.......gonna burn and stain the tattooed Elvis TiKi this weekend.

hey that modern dude looks kinds familiar!

lol...

both pieces lookin' good bro...

thanks Jeff! it should look familiar.....inspired by the Modern TiKis that you've been carving lately.
Since I was just experimenting with this style, I carved it from a Queen Palm. I'm hoping that it doesn't split open......seems like a pretty solid log.
We'll see.

Modern TiKi Girl

Tatooed TiKi Elvis ??

here's another new one that I've been working on

a bug-eyed TiKi with a lei

Great proboscis on the Elvis carving Skoo- Very tiki!

Love the last one!

FANTASTIC! I love how the headdress reappears as what seems to be... IMO, a beard. Has sort of a Lincoln touch to it.

thanks cy, amate an coconutzo.......Elvis has left the building ( I sold him this weekend ) and I never thought about the last guy having a beard ( I was thinking Lei). Could be a beard, what with the new Abraham Lincoln movie and all.

just a quick-carve queen palm wall hanger
I've got some queen palm logs that I'd like to use for something ....what do you think?

Nice mask!

Queen palms tend to be more grassy than woody. Approach with much reservation!

Keep em coming!

McTiki

I might have gotten carried away on this one....maybe a little too deep???

If it holds together, I'll post some more pix when it's finished

Now that's what I call
loosing the shape of the log.
Nice job.

Burnt and stained

had a great time at the International TiKi Market Place on Saturday!

this one's not really a TiKi.....more of a cartoonish carving of a TiKi lover

Great looking display of tiki art Skoo!

a little bass playin' TiKI

fun 1

jon

a little more detail

I'm lovin the character you give them! Well done!

Mahalo

McTiki

yeah he's got personality!

Thanks McTiKI and Atomic Mess

this one was a comission.....the customer didn't like him too much.
I guess he'll be for sale at the next show

Some pretty kool stuff goin on there bro!

a simple quick carve, queen palm...maybe a little more detail, then burn and stain

didn't like the way this guy was turning out, so I just kept taking more away. a little weird but maybe salvageable

Hey Scott, Am planning on going to the "San Diego Vintage Flea Market" tomorrow - Sunday, March 10 (which btw, is actually in El Cajon). Was checking out the event on their Facebook page and noticed that you had a write-up about being there along with Tikis. Look forward to meeting you there and checking out all the tikis!

• Alan

I'll see ya there Alan. It's a fun event and it looks like it will be a sunny day too!

thanks Watango and, Alan it was good meeting you at the S D Vintage Flea Mkt.

my booth at the flea market

my first attempt at carving a turtle
yeah..just a log with "RUM" quickly carved into it......
not for everyone

did some more work on this guy today

he's sort of two faced

I didn't notice that the eyes don't line up, I'll try to fix that

trying something different...some simple carving on a queen palm frond

got this guy burnt and stained

a 20" tall commission TiKi for "Coach Chad"

I just thought he was a chub chub! LOL Nice job though!

Thanks BigT.....after I stained him, I thought that he just looked like a fat TiKi too. Made me want to carve a Buddha style one. Future project.

Are you kidding? That looks great! Perfect symmetry is not necessary nor is it even human.

Thanks Hakalugi.....I don't think that I have to worry about being too symmetrical. Most of my TiKis end up a little lop-sided.
