Did not mean to dis anyone. Just wanted to see their stuff too.
I don't know of the carvers you talk of that's all.
But I will say that when someone comes up to your tiki
and says "That's a Bosko Or C al, Diablo" That's when you have made it.
When you have a style that is all your own, and that's hard to do with tiki.
It's kind of been done a lot.
Carve on.
Skip.........you're just making it worse. Please go play somewhere else. The sad thing here is that you don't even think you've insulted anyone.
The sad thing is that you and many more beginners have delusions of grandeur. Not saying I can do better (I don't carve), or that you should stop carving, but for you to think that you're even close to the level of the artists you mentioned is absurd.
And I don't mean the technical skill of carving - I mean the creative style. I don't say this to offend, I say this to give you a little reality check. A little humility goes a long way.
