I dont know about the rest of you but I certainly have carving-dreams quite regularly. Mostly really large woodcarvings.. true Im hoping it has something to do with my chosen career and not some deeper psychological reason.. KiwiShaperson: "Playing around with the pekapeka design myself" eh? C'mon, lets see.. PS: the roof is just fine but we lost our tin woodshed - first it was blown/lifted off the contents, carried 10feet and slammed into a neighbouring fence. MrsT and I quickly roped it to the fence so no further damage could be done, only to have the wind thrash it to pieces where it was tethered. It now resembles nothing like a shed as a pile of tin panels, the 'framing' now twisted and unsalvageable. Had to restack and cover the wood in the rain.. bugger Toka: plenty of trees/roofs down around here too. Did you catch it on the news? Clarita: thanks, Im loving your (and BenZ) illuminated tikis and have started thinking about a display stand that will do something similar for jade.. hmmm? Pdrake: You dont suck. But youre right - its time to stop looking at my stuff and get back to your own bench. -- -- Been working. Finished the Pekapeka: carved both sides, honest. -- And have a new Tiki-Toki-type almost ready for sanding: As you were.. :wink: Tama [ Edited by: Tamapoutini 2008-08-05 02:13 ]
