Large Tiki - Five Feet
A few elements of this tiki inspired by:
Traditional Maori mokos
Ancient adornments of Britannia
Maori haka tongue
Maori fish hooks
Lahainan Tikis
This five-foot tiki took the island artist many hours to complete. The goal was a high degree of detail and a menacing look. The Popeye forearms were not planned, but a happy accident.
A considerable amount of wood needs to be chiseled out to create a large, gaping mouth like his. Went deliberately deep with all cuts here.
