thanks Johnny and ChiselSlinger....You both nailed it for my inspirational sources....a
combination of the Mai Kai garden tiki (and the Johnny P version from last year)...a
carving from pg 22 of Tiki Magazine number 1 (Bamboo Ben article on Eli Hedley)...and
the "skinny people" carvings that my wife brought back from her Africa travels. I also
review tons of PNG carvings from various websites before I start digging in...many many
beak figures.

Heading up to Wisconsin's Door County Peninsula to spend a few days on an island....
no shops no tourists....be back working on the fourth!

Thanks.
