Alrighty then......

Tiki G,

First of all, I like your work! Your style is definitely very unique and goes a long way in advancing the TIKI aesthetic!

Secondly, I respect that there are aspects of an artist's personal technique that may be considered "secret" or "proprietary". You've payed your dues in the development of your ability and style as well as any "trade secrets".

However...If I may quote the Tki Central Forum Index/Creating Tiki forum discription, "Carving, sculpting, molding, building, photographing, fabricating. Tikis, Tiki Bars, and "tropical" decor. Show off your work, ask questions, give and get tips." I don't believe anyone here is out to pirate your style or anyone else's. As a beginner I'm using this forum as directed to learn some basic carving fundamentals, help others when possible, as well as enjoy and support the work done by others in this community.

In respect to the nature of the forum, the cards are in your hands. One is free to submit (within reason) or not submit as he/she sees fit. "There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers."

Happy Tiki'ing!-FB
