I haven't posted since before Hukilau so here's an update. Hukilau was fantastic - met too many new folks to elaborate on everyone and was happy to see some familiar faces. Some shout-outs to Tiki Hana, Greentikipat, Suzanne, and a new contributor Tiki65... I want to thank everyone that supported me and took some of my stuff home. It was a blur, so shoot me a PM if my stuff has a new home in your home. I spent most of my time talking and ended up losing my voice by Saturday night. Some of the highlights were the bands, swimming with the mermaids (again), early morning swims (way past midnight) with pools full of rum, and seeing the Mai Kai close to capacity! My favorite quote of the weekend was, "He's too drunk too catch the pool." Thank you all again!!

As everyone's focus shifts towards Oasis - I offer this to everyone...

Here are some leftovers from Hukilau and some new carves I've done since. Top-left is a chunk of Basswood that I got from Benzart at Hukilau (started it while sitting at the table with him). Didn't have a whole lot of time to work on him there, so I finished him up on Sunday while rekooperating. Top-right was carved and cast into pendants and earrings. Bottom-left is a redo of an earlier pendant. And the last two just needed better photos.

Lastly I offer up my Swap piece. I need to finish the cord and I will post my final image on the Swap thread.
