Hey guys long time no post. I did manage to finish something up.

That last big tiki was a blast to carve.

"I don't know how quickly he got it done - but it sure did turn out nice. Its awkward carving something while laying on the ground. Proportions and angles are totally wacked. How did you stand it up?"

Aloha was right, the large tiki did take about 8 weeks of odds and ends of time on weekends to finish up. How did it get in place? A backhoe with a chain had to lift it into place.

Here is the slit gong I was working on last winter completed. Somebody saw this piece half completed in my garage and had me finish it up.

Thanks for looking and I hope to be able to carve more often now....
