Thanks G, and you too Sven...I actually thought twice about posting it in the marketplace, as it is definitely out of most tiki collectors' price range, but at least a few people might see it here that may not look in the carving forum often. This was a risky piece for me in terms of my time investment, but that's how it is when you carving is your life - some pieces have to be made regardless of the timing. Fortunately, jade tikis also appeal to jade appreciators, who are willing to pay the price for the right piece (this is no slight on the tikiphile - I also like to get new additions for my collection for as little as possible). It would be interesting to see how much of the annual "Tiki GDP" the mug purchases consume!
