Nice! What's the follow one for?

So, my ADD, er, what ever it is called now has/was kicked in quite awhile ago....

Carve some, rest some, drink some, what ever...

THANKS HodadHank!!! for jumpin/bumpin this.
Just a couple carves for ya.

This Moai was actually evolved/devolved prior to Billy's Mason chop. I just never got it done.
99.9 % was done prior though.

I have a red Marqish guy that is a representation of the guy from TVs in Hawaii. I have a 4.5ish footer that is the big brother to the Red Marq that has been staring at me for about a year, waiting to to get done. This is him...........

:)

Keeeeeeeewel! Whadya use fer da tassle?

Yeah! Wow, the fezzes are coming on strong here lately. Cool looking!

B

ERIC THE RED ROCKS!!

Yeah! And he's got good cigars too!

Aloha NoNaMe. It was good to meet you at the Bali Hai. Your works are fine indeed my Celtic carvin' brah!

Hey Erik, Something wrong with your left eye there? :lol:
I see your carving skills have greatly improved, can't believe the range of stuff you are doing. Love the small pendants too!

H

First Red got a boo boo on his finger turning on his stereo and couldn't carve.

Now he's gotta go to his brother's Judeo-Santa Ria wedding and can't carve.

I think he's fakin so I gotta finish all his dang driftwoods before Oasis! lol!

Yoo hoo! Hey remember this guy? Gonna finish him up tomorrow.

Erik The Red detailing "OLD SMOKEY".
I think Erik's gonna make this guy into a HANGING LAMP!!!!!

Smokey's Pacific cousins look on. Jealous of all the TLC perhaps?

Hey! Aren't you supposed to REMOVE plaque?

Nice work indeed...love the firepit. :D Is that your beautiful eclectus parrot?

Answering for Erik: No. That was a random customer parrot. The largest random customer animal we've had in the shop was a llama.


See "BIG Little Big Red" in the right corner?

Erik's been playing with rich stains so I know some lucky home bar will have a beautiful guardian!

Incidentally this is modeled after a Waikiki Trader Vicks tiki that is wrapped in a banyan tree... "Big Red"'s little brother; "Little Big Red", lives in Freaky Boutiki's A-Frame.

Finely ground cashews make an excellent dent compound!

The boy on the right is killer work! Hats off, Sir !

"Really??""Ya think so??" "Okayeyy??" are a few of my answers when people compliment me. I do not really gush or get red in the face. :blush: :blush:
I really do appreatiate the compliments. You guys and gals are so nice!! I just do it to fill my place with tikis and to relax.

Thanks Matt, Benz!! :thumb: s , Billy :wink: , Seek, Thomas :wink: , Spermy(nice meeeting you last week), Big T, Surfin, Babs :wink: , TBird, Vic(I think I still owe you a drink, or the other way around), Vampi (thanks), Bejamin( Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?)

This is a shitty piece of palm that turned out OK. Same tree as "hollow smokey."

This guy is about 4'4", I think he is taller than Mrs. No.

Man, Erik's bump on the noggin the other day must have dislodged some clogged creativity and he appears ready for multitasking! (Seriously, the way he spilled on his bike we're all thankful he didn't break his neck... crazy bastard.)

Imitating Rick Wakeman...

Further detailing Lil' Smokey!

and hopefully finishing cleaning this palm log leftover from the Lagoon Chop whitch I husked to this point using Matt Reese's rusty toenail clipper. Possibly destined to be Marquesan masks???

Nice work, as always. How will you finish it ?

Benjamin.

[ Edited by: benella 2008-10-09 01:00 ]

Sweet stuff Eric! The next time I work in SD I will make sure to pay you another visit and try to stay longer.

This is how I will finish it Benjamin. Tadahhh!

With direct sunlight...

and without....

Thanks to Hodaddy with the sanding and trimming of the sharp edges.

B

Even with a close up view, your work looks perfectly neat. Nice work of you and hodaddy.

Benjamin.

Nice work on that one, gents! I really like Lil' Smokey too. I have to get down there and carve with you guys one of these weekends!

Good stuff.

H

It's been a couple days, anything new yet?

Great carve! Nice clean lines Looks fantastic.

Thanks Grog, Spermy, Dave, Ben & Seek.

Heath, I'm finishing a few masks from the palm my Mama had cut down twoish years ago. I did just shuck a nice two foot stump though, must weigh 70 or 80 lbs. I need to shuck a five footer that a friend just dropped off. That effer is effen heavy.

Spermy, if yer in town longer we'll have eats somewhere.

Great stuff, thanks for inspiring a starting carver

I am still learning too, Grapa. Thanks for enjoying.

Nice site!! Have you seen a Taboo Tiki Cruiser in Holland? http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=29198&forum=5&hilite=tiki%20cruiser

I am sure you know about Nirve (SKU) #1941 . :wink:

I have sold the Taboo Tiki bike at my shop (one of the best looking beachcruisers ever) To bad there's only the light now. Bougt some smal carving tools today so i can work/practice on small stuff when it's quiet at the shop.

Hope your birthday was out of this world! - Hank & Rita

It was fuckin awesome!!!!!!!! Long time been since I was at Disneyland. My feet all the way to my knees are killing me still and it is Sunday. The dogs were real nice on Thurs. Like they did something bad all Wed. I think they said "I luv you daddy, don't put us in the Disney Kennel Club again, we'll be good, we promise!!" They even got certificates for being good dogs at the Kennel Club.

Indiana Jones is my best new ride. Space Mountain is my best old ride.

I gots the 45 anniversary Tiki Room shirt and a print whilst we was there.

Thanks Hodad & Pakalololita!!
