The gang so far. The little guy is a blood tiki. Taught me a lot, that little guy.

Finger got cut. Finger got better. Jen made me get some safety gear. She's good like that.

This one I tried to do super clean. I think it came out like 3 tikis in 1. While starting #4, I cut my finger pretty good and will have to stop for a few days. For those of you who have shown interest in buying them, I am sorry to say I've decided to hold on to them until Tiki Oasis in August. I will put them up for sale after that, if they don't sell there.

Tiki 2

This is a little rougher, but with more detail. It is actually a salvaged and completed carve from several years ago. I think it came out okay.

My buddy Josh and I are heading to Tiki Oasis this August. I felt inspired to begin carving again. I decided to make garish color choices and perhaps peddle them while we are there. I assume they will get both better and easier to carve as I proceed. Knock on wood.
