In the mean time the great 'Leroy' was commissioned at the same time, and in a wild spike in the universe, he busted his out right away... a pic was sent to me by Frankie's.... with out my knowledge, Leroy carved a tiki holding cards!! and it was a Maori Too!!!! i only had a sketch at the time..... what the?? i patted my own back, and decided to carry out the sculpt with a slight modification P.S. luckily that studio my friend has used to make furniture and large sculpture... i was able to reverse a clamp and push the side walls out so that my tail gate will close if I pull the latch open when i shut it.
