I dig the mix between your panel/relief pieces (always something totally new and different), then you just bust out a big ol' log to change things up. The new fella has a nice relaxed organic feel to him and going back over the last few pages it looks like he threw a few challenges at you. I think those imperfections in your log actually helped, and he looks like the type of tiki that would be right at home hanging out in the Hiva Oa jungle.

I also see you're a 1970 boy like me - enjoy your 30s while you still can brother! Your snow is ending while ours is just beginning, and we've had almost nothing but "Victory at Sea" or massive clean closeouts for weeks now. Typical West Coast autumn! When it does get small enough to paddle out, the howling icy offshore usually kills it. Looking good over the next few days (before it gets back up to 20 odd ft!) so us waveriding carvers are praying for a small window...
