Hello all,

Thanks for the welcome! I hope to put together a shutterfly account this weekend and try to post some pics. I just carved one with a huge tongue that I think you all would dig.

A little about me: I work with chainsaws and carve spontaneously (no plans or drawings). I like the raw energy of a chaisawn tiki and the thrill of just carving what and where the wood takes me. I am a marine biologist by trade and work to manage sharks, tunas, and billfish for the Federal Gov. I specialized in shark morphology in grad school, and have worked on the water my whole life (much of the time as a commercial fisherman). I base my works off the god Ku, the fishing god.

I'll try to work out some pic posts tomorrow....
