Hey Conga, thanks and keep up trying to confuse me, iy=t's so easy you know. Thanks for the comments.

Paipo, Yes that is a Self portrait, can't you see the resemblance? It feels great to feel the wood in my hands being shaped into something beautiful, but I Still have to push myself to the Left when I go out to my shop. To the right is my Stone area with umbrellas and raincoats and Towels ans squeegees and stuff to work the stone, ahh yes the stone. If I turn left I go to my plain old woodworks area, bah humbug. But once I get there and the chips start flying I'm OK for awhile. I don't really know how this happened? The hook knife looks SO Dangerous doesn't it?

Thanks GMAN yes the Super-Duper-Deluxe model Benzart. I'm Afraid you will have to deal with BlowFish if you are entertaining thoughts of adding this piece to your collection. He may have a thought or two about that. :lol:

Thanks Surfintiki, Flattery will get you Everywhere.

Babalu, Thanks for the kind words, I'll share them with the Ancients who get the credit for this guy. I'm just on a joy ride.
This guy has just evolved from a Non Plan and a Non drawing. I wanted him a bit rough around the edges so he would be seen and Not be hiding on the back side of the club. HE is way more than I ever envisioned and I don't know how he happened but he did. This has rally been one of those Magical pieces that don't happen often, where the pieces just fit and keep fitting like I had this grand master plan.
Thanks so much for the compliments and your assessment of my work on this piece.
As I told Greg, Blowfish is the man to begin a bidding war with! Thanks.

GMAN, Yeah, the guy is done but for some tats on his other side.

Babalu, remind me to explain my "to-do-for" list one day. Thanks

No pictures today since I just worked On my shop today And spent time with Aloha Station who came by just to check out the Club . Perhaps tomorrow . Also there is a slit drum I need to start maybe tomorrow too.
