Tamapoutini: No lies. Actually, I started and finished 5 pieces Thursday in about 12 hours. It stormed all day so I had no reason to go outside, just hunkered down in the basement studio and carved. The thumb, well its a sprain so its taking forever to heal. I still have minor pain and swelling, but have regained 80% of my mobility.

Jimmy, keeping busy keeps me warm up here! Its been abnormally cold this Spring, sucks when you're stuck in the 50's everyday. Looking forward to that heavy, tropical air next week! Make it real hot and throw in some scorching sun for me. :wink:

Thanks for your kind compliments bruddah, looking forward to seeing you and the Florida chippers soon!

A bit pressed for time this afternoon with a few other pieces to go yet. So I went with the boo frame on this Tangaroa. The tiki is half a log.
I was going to carve a frame, but I've got boo coming out of my ears.

About 9" x 16"

Next Wednesday needs to come quicker because as long as there is time, I keep finding more wood to carve. :)
