I have watched roughing out with mallet and chisel, but it looks like the detailing is mostly hand/palm work using leverage? Very quiet and contemplative stuff. I think you're the man for the job. We'd all like to see some Paipo wood stuffs! Big ones, too! Tiki-Kate, thanx for those cool pix--what an awesome vacation that was! Good on you for grilling the carvers, it'd be fun to know everything you guys talked about-fill us in maybe???? Dig those old-school-super cool pix from the vaults of time you posted Dave...and they're still kicking it out like that--that's what's cool, you gotta love some peeps who keep it real and goin' on for generations with no perversions of the style.
