Aloha, guys. Just got back from San Felipe - Baja, Mexico. We saw up to 108 deg. heat w/ HIGH humidity. Felt like a wet noodle and had to drink lots of margaritas & cervesas to compensate. Looks like the Board's been busy. Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!

Will: Your tiki cabin sounds cool. Love to see pics once it's finished. Still looking for those Sunset mag pics w/ the 9 foot tiki! Say Hi to Ohana.

Manokoa: Still working the hands & feet. It's been really busy for me lately w/ little time left for carving. I somehow lost my digital camera, but will find a way to post more current pics in a week or so.

BK: Mahalo! I know any Lono you carved would make mine pale by comparison, but thanks for the comps! I'm thinking of tackling some Maori pieces down the road a bit. Will have to check the old BK post for inspiration when the time comes.

Gary: Thanks, I just wish I could find time to carve as much as you & some of the other guys do. I tried to pick a challenging piece because I knew it would take me a while to carve anyway. Yes, I will sand this one like crazy, but I decided to go only up to 60 grit for these larger pieces.

More to come - Mahalo!
