That looks beautiful, Kirby. And knowing where it was created only makes it better.

Nice, Kirby! I really like how the base turned out.

KIRBY, You have Really stepped it up and given us some High standards to meet! Your "Skull" tiki is Just FantastiSkull! The KU is Totally Awesome as is the Drum and I can't believe the amount of detail you are getting now, VERY RESPECTFUL.
Spontaneous Carving produces some of the most Free and Innovative pieces you will ever do, I'm Happy to see you have the confidence to do this.
Excellent Stuff.

I want that Tiki Kirby! I love the chin, that style, cool bass too, Nice :)

So very cool! Jammin' good stuff.
Where in Hawaii did ya go? I'm going again in a month or so.

Nice new carves Kirby!

Saw the Hawaii carve on Facebook, no better inspiration then sitting under a palm tree on a tropical island! It turned out great!

What to say about the Ku? Incredible work! Of course the base is what caught my eye first... sweet Tapa design and great color scheme! The rope puts a nice touch to it
all and frames it in nice. Then the details in the tiki... love the jutting lower jaw, like he's standing guard with a "Hhhhhrumppphhh!"

Got me all stoked to carve a log now... gotta get my flatwork all done first!

In case you haven't seen this from the mojavi oasis thread.

"The Mojave Oasis Camping Companion"
Its a Tiki Pendant, its a flashlight and no camper should leave home without an emergency stash of matches, just in case there is a tiki torch to be lit.





Only available in the Mojave Oasis gift shop!!

It's great to see all of your work in one place, Kirby. I think a "Book Of Kirby" is in order...

No. That is the logo from The Lucky Tiki bar, it was designed by Kevin Kidney I did have a few pieces in the bar that used the logo.. It looks like they ripped it of from them ! Its funny, if you right click on the image it says that the images on that sight are copyrighted.
