BK Basement Kahuna Tiki Socialite Jawja Province, Isle of North America Joined: Oct 14, 2002 Posts: 3618	BK Basement Kahuna Posted posted on Tue, Sep 23, 2003 9:51 PM Cook's been sort of a fixture in the KTPR since I finished carving him.. put the initial coat of tinted Tung oil on him to slow his drying and put him in the corner by the door. I'm feeling out a certain situation for him....hmmmm...Hhhhalll...hallle?? Ehhh,..I dunno. Maybe. If he goes up for grabs ever this forum will have the first notification without a doubt, you can rest assured.

In fact, I can just imagine him looking at me in a tiki bar. All of us Centralites should have the opportunity to see it in person, even if we can't see it between Nov. 15 and Dec. 15. :wink: [ Edited by: tikifille on 2003-09-24 07:57 ]

I would be interested in commissioning a piece by you if you have the time/interest. I have pieces by most of the notable tiki carvers on our board, and you would make a fine addition. This way, the other left coasters could see your work in person. Please email me if you're interested.

Bill the snorting Brittany isn't ever for sale. He's my carving assistant. He is also my taster. He makes sure all food items entering the garage are carefully inspected prior to entering the carving area.

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Mon, Sep 29, 2003 1:14 PM Jawohl! A vonderful vork, and a fine example of what has always been my favourite style: The so-called Tahitian, (but really Marquesan) post Tiki. The wrap-around mouth, the stylized nose, all making it close to abstract modern art (that was inspired by the primitives...) You are imbued by the mana of Tiki no doubt. Because you BELIEVE!

And thanks to all whose continued encouragement fan my creative flames.

TV Traitor Vic Tiki Socialite Greenville, SC Joined: Jan 02, 2003 Posts: 440	TV Traitor Vic Posted posted on Sun, Oct 12, 2003 9:05 PM Dang! That is COOL! I waited this long to respond because I knew I needed to come back and forward the link to a good friend of mine who does woodworking with primitive tools. He'll be very impressed. I also showed the photo of Bill (the snorting Brittany)to my Plott Hound, Stella. She sort of perked up at that! Perhaps she got something out of the Size Comparison that we humans missed out on? Congratulations! I plan on visiting with and getting to know Cook early next year, if possible!
