you know, no matter what, this stuff takes awhile to make. you can't rush carving. sometimes i really, really want to because i want to see what i see inside me brain come out of the block in my hands. it just doesn't work that way. i wish i could hook up an automatic 5 axis machine to me brain and have it work. it even takes a very long time to model things in 3D software.

i just wanted to voice this. sometimes we see others' works and praise them without thinking about the time that it took to make it.

i know i do. it helps me to step back and think about the time people put into their art. wow. we really have some talented people here and it's amazing that they choose to channel their talents into tiki. it's not the most lucrative art form. it's good to know that people do things because they enjoy it and want others to.

okay. one more beer and off to bed.

mahalo.
