Aloha guys, sorry, its been a while. Had a lot to catch up with around the house and work after being on vacation for 2 weeks. Everything is back to normal and its back to carving. I've got a couple more events this summer to get ready for.

Seek, thanks, the booth was jam packed with goodies, gave everyone a wide assortment to choose from. :wink:

Conga, thanks for your kind compliments! I have been busy and wanted to show some great new stuff at Hukilau that hadn't been seen. I'm a bit hesitant to show a lot of stuff these days on the web. I'll send you off a picture of the guy you were asking about.

Kahu, you are correct! I will be making my first Hot Rod Hula Hop this year finally. I always had another event that weekend, the Third Coast Surf Shop Luau in Michigan. I'm taking a break from it to get to the Hop this year.

I've got a pile of carvings started... some basic stuff to replace what sold in Florida, but also a bunch of new ventures.

Here is a 3/4 scale Marquesan Ceremonial Paddle I started Wednesday during a rainy afternoon.

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July weekend! I'll be kicking back the next couple of days to celebrate both the country's and my wahine's birthday.
