I saw two similar tikis but I couldn't find ours. Did I miss it? We'd love to see any step by steps you have of ours. I also missed seeing any photos of you. So I'm sharing this one of you with our tiki. Cheers, Wendy

I'll search and see if I have a picture of your TiKi in the carving stages. Sometimes I just get going and don't take time to document. I hope that you and Dan enjoy your purchase.

Got me a little inspired to learn how to carve some tropical flowers though.

Get use to them & they're addicting. I use a 10 & 11 X-actos. They eat the X-actos up but, they sure are nice when they're sharp & they sure do cut.
