Tama , you've planted the seed of an idea mate. I was going to sell the shot, but it would be better to use it as a foray into making more complex castings. I happen to know a man with a kiln, so maybe some mugmaking experiments will be on the cards. We will have to break in the original beforehand though. If you want some custom ones you'll have to come up with a name for your hangout- the "Kumara Kai" perhaps ?:)

Benz, I had plenty of cooling off over the weekend, which is the first one I didn't carve through in over a month! I spent most of yesterday cutting stone and sprucing up the studio for the next onslaught. Today I will finally be working on tikis again.... along with a big bunch of production (read: non-tiki) orders that came in while I was away.

Thanks llt! I'm sure you know how much work shows are and I'm amazed how many you participate in throughout the year. I would love to exhibit over there sometime - I'm slowly working towards that goal amongst others. Watch this space!

Bullet, I'm hanging to make more wild creations! Drop us a PM and we'll talk tiki if there's something special you'd like. I don't have much on the tiki list, but non-tiki orders are arriving almost daily at the moment and will probably increase as summer gets closer. October to April is the high season here for carvers.
