Thank you for the replies,
Tok-Tok, I like that pirate guy myself,I am working on something real cool with that design stay tuned.
Kreepy tiki,I try to change up every design I have to keep things fresh and the art evolving.I carve those skulls out of the root ball for the texture, so I dont do those very often.(blades are on strike).

WhoaH! Taco-Tiki rules!

Here is some old work to check out,They love the sun here in canyon lake!


Look at the treasure I just stumbled upon, Thou shalt be Tiki!
I hope my neighbors dont want to sleep in tomorro.

Way Cool! I gotta eventually make one of THOSE! Where did ya find an ice bucket with a slot like that in the middle?

Thank you guys for the compliments. I appreciate them.

Benella, I live between Los Angeles and San Diego. It is very nice here.

Seeksurf,I try to pick up on peoples expressions as they are going through emotions(Jerry Springer show) I grab a feature and go from there. I started by doing people tikis, If you notice one of my previous post has a dennis rodman style.

Surfintiki,I stole that piece from my patio furniture,It was in this little table that has a hole in it now. I hit garage sales for cool stuff like that.I am doing a hibachi holder tiki right now.
Thanks again.

Very Nice, allot of creativity in your carves i like.

B

Very good new one.

But this one:

will be amazing !
It's interesting how you used this piece of wood because it seems as height as broad. The design you carved goes perfectly with it.

Benjamin.

Aloha Station:I feel like a machine these days.
Seek surf:Thank you,I am glad you like them.
Benella:Thanks for the comps, That piece should be finished in a couple of days,I will post some finished photos soon. I think France could use a Tiki Stan original.
