Whoa! Thanks for the props!

Rodeo - thanks for the encouragement (and not harrassing me too much to post those flower pics)

Benazrt - Yeh, I intend on carving more. A natural? Who 'd have thunk it? Not me, thats for sure!

Flacookz - Never thought about the women's figure, but I do look at them a lot, so it is no surprise their influence crept in :)

Surfinstro - I got this from a local hardware store. Cost me $10 for 2 blocks (Aussie dollers).

Freddie - the eyeballs happened after I wasn't happy with the original way i did the eyes so i just kept going till it looked good. I like em too.

Marcus - Did I have fun? Hell yeah. So theraupedic just sitting there chiselin away. Like working on the car without the frustration and stress that goes along with it.

Spermy - get started! This stuff is way easy to work with, and easy to get to a decent looking finish

Raffer - thanks dude

Kirby - am I back on the hook if I don't keep it up? Haha, no chance of that

Surfintiki - more on the way

Aron - thanks dude. Loved that AAC, real easy to work with. My neighbour has been inspired and is going down to get some to play with next week. No tiki though. Only got 2 blocks.

Blows me away that the number of carvers (and artists) whose stuff i have drooled so much over would dig my stuff so much. Awesome

Well, I've got that second block sitting in the garage waiting (impatiently at that too). I might just have to have another go. ive got an itchy chisel finger.

When my parents get back from holidays they are gonna freak out at these tikis in their garden. I don't think they will stay there for long :(.

Where do people get their wood supplies from? I am looking at cheap to free price range.


Everyone laughs at me because I am different. I laugh at everyone else because they are all the same.
