thanks Ben...and thanks BK...keeping eyes peeled for the pm!
Ben...you are too funny...after reading your post I thought I might do what you suggested with
my latest piece of fancy firewood. In actuality, it's not a front view, it's a side view.

I have always (well maybe not always...since the book only came out in 2000) been haunted by the
Barney West tikis on pg 247 of "the book." The pic with 5 Barneys all lined up...different heads
but generally similar bodies. So...I am hoping to do mirror-image "back to back" carvings of
Barney-influenced tikis...with two different faces. I thought it might be easier to accomplish
identical legs if I started with a ball...hence the snow-ball look on the bottom. The overall
concept is perhaps a bit much for me to chew off...but chew I must.

On second thought..maybe I'll persue what Ben saw. This will take some time.
