As you are learning how to carve (or produce art) it's natural to pass through a stage of copying ideas as you hone your skills. Keep in mind that these carvings will be in the style of other artists and, out of respect for those artists, should be enjoyed in your own tiki bar. The more you carve, the more you'll develop your own style and the more you'll have fun (which is the most important thing for everything you do). Don't be afraid to post your work and ask for advice. BTW - I'm always curious as to the style that carvers start out with and what their style looks like a year after starting to carve...it's a very neat progression.
