Hey guys...thanks for popping in at the Conga Korner...
Surfintiki...the guy posted above on this page is about a five footer...progressing very
nicely (I think) for an actual Conga-TIKI. Going to dig a lot deeper after just one cocktail
tonight....will post some weekend pics.
GMan...nice to see ya....after a couple of weeks searching I have finally found inspiration for
several pieces...three things in progress now and a couple more in the deep recesses of the brain.
I have a carving demo in two weeks at a local lumber mill...I wanna have several progress pieces
so people can see some full blown wood removal...some detail carving...and some finer hook knife
work. I did it a year ago and started from scratch on a half log and only scratched the surface
in the five hours I was there. It was a hoot...they are expecting around 700 people this year
which is a lot for such a small town (8600.) They do a really cool "forestry field day" thing
with furniture makers...artists...logging suppliers...etc. Actually the free breakfast is what
attracts the people.
And Kaha...my buddy....thanks heeps. I thought I really missed the "tiki boat" on pencil neck...
but I dig him...so what the heck. He didn't generate a heck of a lot of commits (bad joke..sorry)...
so it's really nice to have you "spark" on him. We're gonna tip a couple in your honor later
tonight.
