It almost works like hard plastic and polishes up the same. The deep purple gets embedded into the white grain too easily though. YeeHaw sounds great, who is there? Thanks Pablus, your Legendary bar-skills would be welcome at Any tiki chop shop, C'mon down/over! I'm sure we could have you carving wood pretty quick too? Oh and the Uke's are a MUST! Jen, That would be great, wouldn't it. Peeps, Jen has scheduled a visit to the Benzart shop om Sunday May 4th, so a Chop shop on that day would be great too. Either way, I get Jen on the 4th :) :) :) Gator, we will Definitely have a spot for you and whoever you brin along when it happens, Thanks. G-Pat, Thanks, Looks like there are more Tiki Peeps in Tampa/St.Pete that anywhere els in Fla except Maybe Ft Lauderdale. We really have to think about whats best for everyone, I guess that makes it My Place? :lol: Thanks Robin, I really felt he needed a place to rest his Big Head!. We have been wanting to do this for a long time too. Thanks Harro, I appreciate the comps. This guy kind of took off on his own as I wasn't going to get anywhere near as detailed with his Moko as he wanted, so it seems. I've never done a moko with a cylinder burr on the flex shaft before and it was very challenging, but this wood refuses to budge under the hook blade so I had no other choice as the V-liner is just not the right tool and burning is not right either for this wood. He just took over and with the help of some interested Ancients, Twisted my arms until I complied! You are Welcome here Anytime you can make it here, C'mon UP! GMAN, Yeah, Yeah, I Know, but my computer is not liking the web these days. I recently installed the Wicked,Evil Windows Vista and in trying to gain control it has booted me off-line and I have to figure out what I did. Meanwhile I am using Sherry's Lap Top. You're right too, I Have been kicking around the garage, working on the little Maori but I'll wait to show you pictures until he looks more like he should! I'll post piccies after my doc appt later today.
