Thanks everybody for such kind words. :) Is bird's eye maple only from around here? I had no idea. The maintenance guy from my old job got a huge peice of it off an old machine in the warehouse and I talked him into cutting a chunk off for me. I think the machine was built in the '40s so the wood is pretty old.

Here is a wall plaque I just finished. The background is from an old aloha shirt that was ripped beyond repair. The tiki is a resin copy of my carving. I'm going to post this in market place too, since I'm going to make about 10 copies or so and see if anyones interested. The overall dimensions are about 9" by 20". Sorry for the dark pics, my camera was dropped recently and something about the light sensor doesn't work right anymore. :cry:

Mahalo!
