Scott and Benz, thanks and Happy Holidays to you both!

About to wrap up a custom order for a fellow surfer. His girlfriend is surprising him this weekend with this and I wanted to do something special for the piece. He's got an A-Frame wave breaking right on his chin. Just have to carve some tapa pattern on his head dress and he's ready for pickup. Very heavy and hard piece of ash, but the finished surface is really nice. Left the tool marks to give this one a vintage look. 24 inches tall.

Got a custom order for Zebra print on one of my Exotica Shields. The customer's living room has Zebra print chairs so these are a perfect compliment. I'm used to doing leopard print, but I've taken a liking to the Zebra too and plan on using it again in the future.

And I just finished up this Tang mounted on a woven background with hand framed bamboo. About 24" high.

I've got 40 feet of custom moulding to carve this week and then I hope to do some work on my Trader Vic's Marquesan pole that I've had for 2 some years. :lol:
