many many thanks Finkdaddy, Johnny, GMan, Ben and BK, always appreciate the comments from artists I
respect so much.
Ben, thank you again! I had reached the point where I was gonna shortcut this carving and
rush to the finish line when someone revived the post about X amount of dollars per foot and
the general issues of "pricing" tikis. I was struck by a comment by BK...where....in essence...
he talked about a commitment to doing one's "best" work...something to be proud of. That's
something I always notice about you and BK, you never seem to settle for less than your best
effort. That's when I decided that I would not quit on this carving as long as there was
something that could be done better.
If I can keep working with that in mind, I think I will create a piece that will be worth the
effort.
Now I have to get ready for Monday Night Football. Although I reside deep in Packer country I
am really a 40 year Colts fan. The way there defense has been playing I suspect I will have
plenty of opportunity to drown my sorrows in Mai Tais. But I am hopeful that I will be
celebrating with Mai Tais, so the result should be the same.
