Hey guys,
thanks for your nice entries. I already start with a new carving, but I just have no pics of it, yet.
It will be a little tiki figure out of walnut wood, which is a gift from AlohaStation.
He gave me the piece of wood, when we met us at the Mai-Kai two weeks ago.
Tom, thanks again for that!

Tiki Diablo, I send you a personal message at TC and the same message to Myspace. I hope you will get it.
Your email address don´t work and returns always back. Don´t know what´s the problem???
Please give me a short feedback, if you got the mail.

Lake Surfer, thanks so much! :) Yes you are right! It really sucks to carve when it is cold outside and the tool
are freezing on you fingers. But it is the season, when I would have the most time to carve. Stupid!
Thats why I am carving a small one at my warm flat at the moment.
Next time, when I will visit the US and meet you again, I will bring you a bottle of hot cuban rum for your studio.
Looking forward to see the first pictures of your next big log project. We could start an competition at TC:
"Who will carve the biggest Tiki" :)
This morning I talked with a friend and he told me that he got a log with 4 feet diameter. Black cottonwood!

Tiki Duddy, thanks so much! To carve the sand tiki was very funny. It worked very well and it was easy to carve it clean.
The sand was very hard and so, the tiki stand there for 2 or 3 month.

I wish you all a great time and a wonderful Merry Christmas, Kai
