Thanks hewey, Benz, OceaOtica, Babs, Kinny, Robin, Mooney, seeksurf and M.I.T. - glad you all were groovin on the manaia. I'm definitely gonna keep working the whole stones for while, but I also have quite a few pebble tikis on the bench at the moment too (in various stages of completion). I'll post pics when some of 'em are closer to hatching...

In the meantime, I was asked for some pics of my workspace. I think I may have posted a few before, but I can't be bothered searching through this bloated thread (which will be officially retired at 100 pages!) to find out if I have. I had thought of creating a new "post your workspace" thread here in carving, but folks seem to be posting up their workshops in their own threads lately so that's good enough for me. Babalu and Benz have both added some cool shots in theirs...check em out if you haven't already!

On with the tour:

After climbing the 48 steps from the street, we're here:

I'm just about out of space as you can see, but I keep buying tikis! What am I gonna do?!? (If I had my way the entire inside of the house would look like this too, but my wife will not capitulate...yet!)

PS I will post some closeups of a couple of spots too...there is a fair bit of TC art tucked away in those pics!
