Tiki G,

What a hassle it was moving these logs around. I first had to move them off of a steep hillside with a winch and then a backhoe/tractor. They were then place on 4*4's so I could roll them around manually to carve them.
Loading them in a U-Haul, to deliver them was a bitch, the road to my carving spot was really muddy so I first had to load these tikis into my pickup and then drive them down the hill. When we got to the bottom we had to manually push them into the U_Haul from the back of my Dodge 2500. Luckily, my good friend Gabe and I are kind of moose's so we were able to somehow get them in the back of the delivery truck.
As you have probably noticed, moving around big logs makes you quite strong. I like to use the analogy of Conan the Barbarian (Our Governator) working in the slave camps getting stronger and stronger.

Thank you for the plugs it feels good coming from a great carver such as yourself.

Will
