Thanks Conga, Palama, Polynesiac, Slacks, Surfintiki, Kahaka, GMAN, Spermy, Tikimecula, Rodeo, Hewey, Benzart, & McTiki.

Tikimecula, I’ll have to check out that Dremel detail sander. But I might have to sell some more tikis first. I think I’ve already borrowed all the equity from Lono.

Hewey, I had to toss those gloves – got tired of taping up my fingers!

Ben, it will be hard to part with this one, but the lucky SOB lives right next door so I will have visitation rights.

Mahalo All!

I was starting to get to the “sick of looking at this tiki” stage till I did the detail carving this weekend. I’m going to echo what Ben has said elsewhere – these reciprocating chisels are awesome. The ease of use, speed and control make it a whole different way of carving. I was able to do all of the uprights, logo & nameplate in a couple of hours while my son was getting his afternoon nap. And got some sanding done too.

So Lono quit telling me he’s done and now he’s demanding more detail. Who am I to argue? More detail it is…
