It's not even close to the works of Lakesurfer or so many of the carvers here. But thank you very much. I have a lot of sanding to do yet, and I have to pick out some stain. Polynesiac, thanks for the support from such a cool tiki guy. It means a lot. Benzart, big thanks to you. Your art is one of my biggest inspirations! BYW, how do you sand all the small features of your pieces? I can't smooth out little spaces, like in between fingers and the like. Do you just leave it? ZebraTiki, Thanks much. I do like to put them in my plants. It turns a regular plant into a mini, mysterious jungle! Aaron's Akua, you are also an inspiration for me. Thanks for all the kind words. All my friends and relitives know, all I want for Christmas is wood!! Sam Gambino, that is so cool comming from a great artist like yourself. One of my favorite pieces is the one you made called 'The Harem'. I love the self-satisfied look on the tiki! I have and uncle who was a drummer for Black Oak Arkansas in the 70's. He has a big Ed Roth collection, along with a lot of that wierd hot rod art from the same period. Cool stuff.
