Thank you gentlemen for the warm welcome back to TikiCentral.

I have been working and playing hard and trying to fit in some carving whenever possible.

Often at my day job (non tiki job) I skim through Tiki Central when by boss isn't looking. He is out of town this week so I am able to post a few pics for you guys.

It is amazing how everyone's carving has improved and I love to see all your guys/ gals work posted here. (can't forget our lovely lady carvers)

I've held out long enough so here are some more pic's for your viewing pleasure.

These first tikis are made out of Redwood heartwood. A logger friend of mine, will often make his initial cut a little larger and then proceed with milling a log. This saves scrap for him, because it is usually tossed out. For me this piece is perfect for making half tikis or masks.

I was going to put in more pictures, but my shutterfly seems to not be functioning properly with my computer.

If I get a chance tomorrow I will add some more.
Once again, thanks to everyone for my warm homecoming.

I will be around here more often.

Cheers,
Will
