Wes: Looking forward to meeting you at Swanky's carving seminar if all works out.

Doubravski: Thanks for the tip - I'll check that book out for sure. Just the quick browse I had through your copy of "Oceanic Arts" had me hooked.

Capo: Likewise I'm sure. The thing that impresses me most about your built-up tikis is the amount of detail for the short window of opportunity that you have before the mortar sets. I'm really interested in the method - they look killer.

Will: Yeah, I think it's just the wood type I'm using. Again no big deal, but nonetheless, I'm going to switch to something more stable. My ficus supply has run out anyway. The next tiki will be redwood from that mask blank you gave me. And BTW, when the tikis start talkin', it's time to set the bottle down!

5-0: What's up, Bro? Have not heard much from you lately, it's time for you to start carving again. Let's hook up for a carving session sometime - I keep forgetting how close you are. Better yet, let's go out to Spermy's place, drink all his beer and leave a pile of wood chips - I'm sure he wouldn't mind!

Surfintiki, thanks for the props! That Leroy of yours is looking world class.
