I stained this Tiki carved of earpod. He's a little more than 2 feet tall and needs another coat after the rain lets up. ARRRRRRAAAhhhh holidays in the stain, damn it. Mahalo for looking.

There is So Much Personality there and he is really trying hard to tell you he wants NO More Squash, Yuccch, Eglch. Don't give him any more of that stuff whatever you just gave him. :P

Lake Surfer, Mahalo man vintage is what I wanted so I guess it worked. Your marqs always look killer so it means a lot coming from you. Thanks for the compliments. Benzart, Feeding the Tiki's is strictly kapu they only require sacrifice of flesh and blood. Thanks for the props. Howland Thanks I like the dark stain too. BasementKahuna posted a recipe for dark stain I been meaning to try. benella- The dark stain helps to hide the worm holes :wink: More to come soon. Mahalo for looking.

LS Lake Surfer Tiki Socialite Milwaukee, WI Joined: Oct 21, 2002 Posts: 3417	LS Lake Surfer Posted posted on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 10:32 PM Wow. On your way to killing it with these guys also. Loving the palm Marquesan! A nice flat piece with plenty of thickness to get some killer depth out of. Classic stylings with the eyes on the top of the head too. Nice work! You've got the Kona Style down to an art for sure and it shows in the second piece. Tight, tight tight! The third piece is a nice way to mix it all up. Classic Poly Pop stylings! Looks like a vintage piece off of a Southern California apartment building! All wonderful work to be proud of! Very inspiring! Love your wood selections for each piece also... well thought out!!!

A AlienTiki Member MAUI No Ka'oi Joined: Jul 08, 2005 Posts: 424	A AlienTiki Posted posted on Mon, Apr 4, 2011 12:21 PM Mahalos Benzart, 4WDtiki and LaoJia, The wood is African Mahogany and is a real pleasure to work after carving that stone like Monkey Pod (albizia saman) and burled Mango. I bought the wood and I usualy prefer free Maui grown material but there is something to be said for kiln dried wood. Mahalos for looking I'll post some more shots after it's finished. Now back to the sanding, Yay.:roll: sanding. [ Edited by: AlienTiki 2011-04-04 12:22 ]

Palms? I never would have guessed that monkeypod is real hard. I only see the bowls and stuff in the thrift stores, and they're smooth and light, I figured it would carve like butter!
