Any progress on the carving?? You could probably follow one of the tiki mug designs as a guide - that would show you the positive/negative space areas............

Hey, if anyone has some extra of those large tiki wood fork and spoon atrocities that used to be found all across second-hand stores - I could use a bunch - I have some that I altered to use as supports for my tiki display shelves, but I need more to make an entire column that will reach to my basement floor. These are those "made in Philippines" totem designs with about a foot of carving between the handle and fork/spoon end.

Thanks!

Gotcha, hope recovery is smooooth sailin'!!! The tiki vibe will bring you only good luck too!!

Nice! Marquesan tiki........

Wow! Even though I've seen that tiki pin before - it still elicits the same response!!! Wish I could even attempt to carve........

Onemoresean - love the suffering bastard tiki - hadn't ever seen that done as a "totem" before..........

Swampfire - questions for you! Who did those great tiles?? Man, I was looking for something like that when re-doing my bathroom.............

Who did the prints?

Your tiki area is very "tiki modern" - mine is very "rustic" being an old rancher with a club basement, but it adds to the "vintage feel." I think I have photos on Pinside somewhere of my tiki den - but if we're going to populate this thread I'd be happy to contribute again.

Everyone knows they made a pretty cool looking Alien monster tiki mug to mark the new movie coming out?? Nice design.

sculpting is good as well, matter of fact, it's probably a whole lot easier. You can get "low fire" clay I believe for home-use kilns..............same with the glazes.............
