My wife & I have been lucky enough to make a few annual trips to Hawaii and I have become very interested in tiki (Seeing all the statues at The Place Of Refuge on the Big Island was awesome!) I love to watch the guys carve at the market places, and a semi-related offhand comment about Indian/Eskimo art to my little brother caused him to bestow some soapstone and tools on me. So...I'm not letting lack of knowledge and artistic ability stop me from having a go at carving. I may have to start with petroglyphs, but I'm gonna do it. The shear volume of info here makes it hard to find things, but I'm going to scour the monster carving thread to hopefully get an idea for something easy to start with. Mahalo on any tips for certain posts to look at. Ron [ Edited by: QPQ 2008-01-31 07:17 ]
