McD - good to hear from you again.

There are so many ways and things to create - perhaps what you are missing is the "creative high". That sense of what you make is enjoyed by more than just yourself. For me it's the feeling of working outside the box (I work on the computer every day). I say carve what you want - you've got the skills. I spoke at length with some very successful, professional, fine artists at the Ft. Laud. Boat Show about this very subject on Thursday. Tiki is a niche - there are a lot of niches out there. you just have to find your own. Never restrict yourself to fit in somewhere. Ducks, fish, wood spirits, relief carving, abstract... if its a matter of money, you will never get that same "high" creating to satisfy someone else. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
