There's pretty much nowhere here in CT either, but you never stop looking. Hit every chinese resteraunt you can find...keep your eyes out. You might discover something no-one on here knows about!! It the thrill of the hunt! Also, you might want to goto the EVENTS section, and see if you can get some more DC TC'ers to meet & make some tiki trips. Thats what we've done up here in New England, and its gaining some momentum! SandSea05: Check out the creating tiki threads. More stuff about carving than you can shake a stick at, but it seems that the general consensus is that carving palm sucks. It cracks when dry and is very pulpy to carve. SOme guys have moved to white pine and countless other woods. Just goto a Benzart thread and revel in what a master can do with the right tools. Live, learn, enjoy, and be sure to post your work!! We love seeing new carvers "come of age"!
