Thanks for the comps PopTiki, I appreciate the kind words. You Blew me away with the Volcano mug you sentto me at the Tiki Jam. It is Awesome and you just don't know what that means to me. HappyHappyHappy.

Tipsy, thanks for your props. From an artist with your ability, I take that as a real compliment. I'm working on yours alone today...

Hiltiki, thanks. The carving you picked is one I have wanted to do for a Loong time. It is a real challenge and the flow of the body is the Maun feature I am hoping to capture.
Here is what it is Supposed to look like. This is NOT My carving, just a picture from the 'net.

BK, my friend and mentor, since it was you who really got me hooked on TC, Thanks for your comps :)

PolyN, thanks for your support, nice to hear from you. The "Forbidden" tiki actually has no stain at all, only a light burning to highlight some features. I wanted him as light as possible so he might show up better in a Dark room, Thanks.

KingsTD, thanks for going Benzart and Welcome to the Family. I remember this tiki well. HE went to Hukilau 2004 and found a home there with a local TC'r. He survived the hurricane after Hukilau so he's a fighter.Thanks

Bette, Thanks and thanks again, my main Man..

JohnP, from what I see of your carvings, I may well be saying the samew thing soon, Thanks for the props.

All right now it is BAck to work after a great weekend. I will post pictures of todays progress later after I make some. Hopefully. This thread is getting pretty long and is longer than the first one which I cut off at 50 pages. Should I archive this one and start a new one??
