hey you guys thanks alot. it always feels good to have your opinions and im glad i finally got some pictures up. it was killing me inside a bit.
benz- it is always a pleasure having such a great carver like yourself put in some words and i thank you for that. i still need to get some more done yet but....its cold.

pdrake- thanks again to you too. i really need to sand this guy up. and yes i should of given a little bit of a smile haha. a while after carving during the winter the big guy started cracking like MAD. there is one that goes deep from top to bottom. i still like him the best though.

hewey- thans you. i still do need to go a bit deeper yes but it was my first time using a chainsaw on a piece so i just wanted to test it out. this was actually the first piece where i had drawn it out too.

tama- yes the big guy is my best work so far i think. its also my favorite. i kept saying to myself "if this turns out....YES" and it did work out like i wanted. a few minor glitches but i fixed them up. thanks

benella- thank you. ive been looking at your work too and i really like it.

buzzy- YEAA. thanks man. really appreciate it. it makes me feel sooo much better that i can actually put something on this site again. during the past few months i had been feeling a little depressed cause of that. you see this (besides my family and a few friends) is the only place that i share my tikis with. you know how kids at school can be about new things. so i keep it to the site here and thats good enough for me. thanks

hakalugi- yes yes my old pictures were TERRIBLE. it was the best that i could do with a camera phone hahaha.

teaKEY- thank you aswell. i actually never thought of it as my own style but i guess it is kind of. i like that idea. but i give sooo much credit to everyone on this great site. they have helped me greatly.

mctiki- it fells GREAT to create some kind of art. after you are done a project you just think "i created this?" and it feels amazing.

thanks to you all agian it means alot to have everyone comment on something that i just picked up one day. i have supprised myself how far i have come with this even though i am just a newbie.

thank you all
