Aw, shucks...no masterpiece by any means... Thanks, Benz- you've been a real mentor since I started posting here. Can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

And thanks for all the props, guys. All this positive feedback is really charging me up! Now, while this one's getting glossed up, I'm laying out plans for the next.

RT & Spermy, glad you liked the posting. Hopefully not too much detail? I like doing these progress posts - they keep me rolling. Next one will be similar (start to finish), but not so many questions. I think I've got the basics mostly worked out for now. But don't hold me to it...

Sorry, Polynesiac, the Moai-Ku is set aside for the moment. I'm doing a special request tiki as a favor to a friend who gave me some air tools. (Moai is next on the list).

Gigantalope is bringing me some Madrone logs soon. Can't wait to tear into 'em. Thanks Big-G, that's SO cool of you to bring them down. Yeah, I wasn't so sure about the tile, but it seemed to work out. If I ever develop a "style", this may be part of it. Looking into getting a used tile saw.

Cheeky, my next one will be a departure, 'cause I usually like to design my own stuff from scratch. It will be based on some work by one of our own Tiki Icons - with permission, of course. And there will be some modifications as well. Sorry to be mysterious, but you're all gonna have to wait for the next post....
