A.S.

I'm thinking happy tropical thoughts.

Here in Milwaukee there is a foot of snow on the ground and the temperature is -8.
Windchill around -35.
Lake Michigan is full of icebergs.

Winter or no winter, there is still wood to carve. Not much of that lately... I've been working with a friend for the last month and a half remodeling a 1920's home.

Plenty of time to brainstorm ideas and come up with new things to create!

Wednesday we put the wraps on the house and its back to full to part time carving!

I've got a stack of wood ready to go and have been stockpiling materials for a very special collection of tiki creations I will start on very soon!

I've have managed to eek out some pieces over the last month in addition to a handful of custom orders I created. Two of my works found their way to the UK and Berlin, Germany. Thanks again to Steve and Markus! Two more pieces landed on each end of the United States... The Pacific Northwest and Central Florida. Many mahalos to Andy and Rob!

Here's a guy I just finished the other day... Kaanapali Ku

More fun stuff coming soon!

Gotta keep moving to stay warm!
