Mahalo Tamapoutini! The 8 will be for eight groomsmen. They probably will only be shown together once and I hope they appreciate them. I have a thing about carving for unknowing recipients. If you(you the figurative you) didn't ask me to make it or to have an already made piece of art, I would NOT offer any work. I once gave a beautifully carved Koa tiger shark to a person who was important to me. The recipient said thanks but obviously did not appreciate the carving. One day I was visiting them when I noticed one of their children playing with the shark. All the delicate fins had been broken off and the sharks curly koa finish was scuffed beyond recognition. And it was a hard lesson learned but here I am again making art for the unknowing recipient. Hey at least I'm getting paid, right?
Mahalos for looking! |
