McTiki - Thanks Mac. I'm glad to see you have another one in the works.

Aloha - I'll have to research Kane. When I started oceanic arts I did not realize so many people were into it. I went to museums and books for my inspiration. Not a lot of Hawaiian stuff survived the missionaries I guess because I did not see much of it and never learned about it. I have found some reference photos recently of the traditional pieces and that's why you see all the recent Ku activity. (I guess they're KU) If you can suggest a book or photo source of Kane, I'd be interested in seeing how they were originally done.

Koitiki - great to hear from you! If I'm going to keep doing this hobby, I need to move some stuff to make more room. So, sure I'll sell you something. Pick something out of my thread and then we can talk. I mostly want to get more details on that Texas Tiki round-up. Sounds like fun. I'll send you a PM.

I try to give folks something interesting to look at. I can't wait to see your current one finished. coming on strong!
