pappy, thanks a ton!

I try to stop for a while, but end up coming up with more ideas I want to try. Next thing I know I'm making a bunch.

I've got a ton of different stuff for Hukilau that I've never done before. I'm excited to see how it goes over.

Benz, I'm still doing double takes after this last batch. I had these guys sitting in the studio last night while I was carving some more and I kept getting distracted by staring at them. Its been about four months since I carved any log tikis since I've been doing so much flatwork. In that time I thought a lot about new carving techniques and tried some new tools I hadn't tried before. I experimented with some new finishing ideas also. The result is what you see here. It all came together.

I'm really impressed with how these new guys have turned out and the results have given me a real boost.

Thanks so much for the compliments!
