Thanks Benz! Now I can update when I need to.

More background info...
I started carving about five years ago, not steadily though. I would get frustrated with something, the chisels would get dull, or I would be recruited to help someone else with a backyard project (whoever comes to the left coast oki-oki will see what I mean) and walk away from carving for six to eight months. So all told, I've probably only been carving a total of maybe two, two and a half years.

My first real carvings are on display at The Lava Flow Inn. Just a couple of little moais, maybe four inches tall. I'll try to get some pics.

This is the first palm log I tried.

My buddy said yeah, that's great, don't do anymore.
So to spite him, I looked around online and found some info and pictures.
This is my second try with palm.

I've still got a lot to learn!!
More pictures coming soon.
