Doesn't this guy look like he's eating one of those Sara Lee Cherry Pie Pockets? Like, bud, take small bites!

Jumping off is right - has anybody noticed that Buzzy's stuff is attaining this freaky level of mastery where everything is starting to look ALIVE?

I think it's cause he isn't measuring every little detail, or going for a perfect geometric machine-like balance. Buzzy's just carving away by hand, and every part of these Tikis have a bit of 'gesture', just like real life. They just look right.

And I think this hand done craftsmanship is gonna make these more collectible and valuable. Way more than sanding the thing ultra smooth or getting into microscopic details.

GO BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!
