Your tiki turned out great and the ornament is so cute! We are in the early stages of creating a home tiki bar and your videos have been inspiring. Some of the things we have added to our decor for Christmas look so natural in a tiki setting that we just may leave them year-round. Would love to add your ornament to a tiki-tree!
Another fantastic video Jayme, and I think the Hawaiian Eye tiki turned out GREAT!! I really enjoy watching your videos, they're so inspiring and make me believe I can construct a lot of Tiki stuff myself for my own bar. My favorite intersection of Christmas (my favorite holiday) and tiki (my favorite thing) is when I make an amazing Mele Kaliki Mai Tai (Trader Sam's recipe) using Coruba and Hamilton White Stache rums, and listening to Christmas classics by Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank, et al. Nothing beats it! Thanks again for all you do, and I already can't wait for the next video! I think I'm just about ready to go back and re-watch your video on trim and try my hand at that, for a first project. Also, please consider this my entry into the drawing! Mahalo and cheers!
Most years I have a Tiki Christmas tree. I lool forward to hanging my hula girls and tropical flowers, ukulele, pineapples, coconut, and tikis I have gotten from you in the past
Excellent job, turned out perfect! I've been wanting to carve a Tiki for our mid century home and I think I'm ready to give it a try. Our Christmas theme this year has a decidedly tropical paradise feel to it. We just got home from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and it's still very much in our hearts. Mele Kalikimaka!
Fantastic carving!!! And I love your Peanut shirt! 😄 Tiki is going to intersect over the whole of the December Festive Season for us.. cos we’re extending our outdoor Tiki bar to the inside of our house! Hopefully to celebrate New Years with the ‘first draft’! (Does a Tiki-build ever finish?!)
No, a tiki build is never finished! I started in 2017 and there's no end in sight! Good luck with your expansion--you need to share images of your progress on my FB group!
My husband and I really enjoy watching A Moment of Tiki. We started watching from the beginning and now we're caught up! Since we were behind, this is my first attempt to win one of your amazing hand crafted ornaments so my fingers are crossed! Tiki and Christmas go together, for me, at The Jungle Bird in Sacramento, CA where they turn it into a Beachbum Berry Sippin' Santa event for the month of December. Our reservations are for next week so we're looking forward to some delicious drinks and lots of Christmas decorations.
We just watched this carving episode tonight. We ALWAYS look forward to and enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your talents and inspiration! I love how you approach projects and make beautiful ornaments every year! Trust me- I will be watching and claiming if I am a lucky winner! I love adding a Christmas overlay to our Covid tiki home bar 🌺😊
😪sadly I live in Canada and can not join in the fun of the contest. But as always. Love your videos and your amazing carving skills. I am going to be hunting for a way to watch Hawaiian Eye. Take care and Merry Christmas from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Really enjoy all your moment of tiki episodes and I've been watching them and learning from them for a while now! This one is great because we have some fallen cedar trees on the property from the ice storm last year here in Texas and I want to make a Tiki carving out of some of them. So thanks for all that you do and keep up the great content!
Our cedar's a great wood to carve. It's not super-hard but holds detail well. The only downside is that it throws out *lots* of limbs so it tends to be knotty.
Hey Jayme - I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of your channel this year watching all the videos. Tiki looks great and ornaments look great - I'd love to score one! I really enjoy putting on the Trader Sam's Holiday playlist I found on Spotify and listening to tikified versions of Christmas songs while I make cocktails for myself and my wife. Mele Kalikimaka!
Wow, your carving turned out so amazing! The ornaments look great too! We always love incorporating tiki into Christmas with a few Hawaiian ornaments on the tree, and hitting the Christmas tiki pop-up bars for some great drinks! Hoping I can win one of your ornaments to add to our tree!!
followed your suggestion on the Aus Timber oil it works so well felt like it sealed my wood. thanks these are great videos!

Fantastic video! Can't wait for spring to give this a shot! Your Christmas would look amazing in my Mid-Century Modern / Tiki room!

What is the name of your opening/ background music?? Totally LOVE the sound. Would love to have it in my music collection.

Just found this I’m sorry I missed a chance. Great job on the Tiki by the way. Mahalo from the UK
