Love that double tang! Well done!! .... (wood chips count as art too!)

The detail in your carvings are spectacular...
Great stuff!!
Love the finishes too!

Just noticed you're from Kansas!!

I'm in Wichita!

Hell, Even your Chips are Awesome, looks like you are entering a new higher level, If that was even possible.

Kahaka, Thanks. Yours is on it's way.

Cap'n Jack, Thanks.
Meheadhunter, Thanks. I'm in Wilson.
Benz, Thanks.

So I have not carved a Tiki in a while (5 Years or so) and I was looking through some pics I had, and I found this guy.

Don't remember where I got the pic, but thought I would give it a go..

Made of an Ash baseball bat blank I found in the move, that I forgot I had. Octane tipped us off to those back when he was around these parts.

He is 10" tall.

Freakin' wow, man. All I can say.

Love it, Marqs rule!
What's the story on ash, good carving?

DAMN YOU!!! I'm unemployed! Why do you have to tempt/tease me like that?!!GROG want.

Mutiny on the Bounty!

Bounty Quarterboard 24" x 6"

Not really Tiki, but I think Nautical stuff goes well with Tiki.

A very nice chunk of Ash there Andy... always fun to carve!

Looking forward to seeing the magic worked on this log!

Little progress..

Ooo a Marq! Can't wait to see how this comes out. When's the last time you've carved a tiki?

Marquesan! YAY x2!!

Here is one T-Mec did almost a year and a half ago 4wheel!

He is 10" tall.

This one looks to be an Excellent "Grown up" sized brother to that last one.. Way Excellent T-Mec..

beautiful work Tmec.......just mind blowing details

Excellant stuff as usual.Cheers Watango

Time for an update Andy, whatcha up to? How's the Kansas winter treating you?

Where's TMec?

Snowed in and frozen I'll bet.

It has been a brutal Winter here in the Midwest.

What's the latest, T-mec? Let's see!

Thanks Benz, Chimp & Watango.

Lake, this winter is not as bad as last year. we have only had maybe 15" of snow this winter.

Well the Ash marq had to be sacrificed to the fire, it was full of bugs? along with the rest of the log pile I had? Got some other carves coming up soon, I hope. We might be moving again so not sure when I'll get a start on them. I'm kinda in limbo for the time being.

Bugs in the Ash?

Red Headed Ash Borers?

We've got Emerald Ash Borers here, but I've yet to come across them.
Ash being so hard, I've never seen ants in it. Same with wasp larva.

Pine and Basswood hold a lot of larva. Cedar repels insects.

Lucky you this Winter... we're over 54 inches this season... and counting. :(

Wish the miles were not so far, I've got a ton of seasoned wood here that needs carving... Ash and Birch.

Fine looking Marq.

Bump! More stuff update?

GROG saw you posted Lake Surfer's thread today. So, you're still around.

CARVE YOU MONKEY!!!!!
