The world's a better place with your carvings in it. For those who aren't familiar with Basement Kahuna's work (I encourage anyone who's interested in carving to do a search to look for the scads & scads of his amazing work here on TC), here's a link to a piece that's close to my heart. I purchased this Meeting House piece last fall as part of the Hukilau auction, and it is the most spectacular piece in my collection. Any of you who came to our room during Oasis got to see it -- it was the subject of many loving gazes that weekend. This thread has lots of step-by-step carving pics: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=6426&forum=7&vpost=61877 And here's the finished piece: So glad you're back!
