I've mentioned this before (probably on the old Yahoo site), but Charlie Knight is a very personable guy. I've never met any artist (for lack of any inclusive description of vendors, carvers, painters, labors, etc.) who stops whatever he is doing and sit down and talk with you. And that is not his 'sales-pitch'. This guy will offer you a drink, sit down and talk about just about anything you want to. I wish I had taken my little notepad out and wrote down stuff he was telling us! He will tell you where he has gotten his influences and whom he has worked for, where he has adopted his styles, what is difficult, where he gets his material, how he does it and any partof the carving process. And then, everything you want to know about the Gulf Breeze, Ft. Walton, Pennsacola area - he can tell you. His Tikis are top knotch, made from Palm. He also has other carvings, but naturally, Stacey and I only focused on picking out which Tiki we wanted. If you ever get in the area, he is hard to pass up, if you're not looking. But an absolute MUST SEE. You will not be disappointed. :sheckymug:
