I was living on Kauai, currently in Eugene, Oregon. I have been carving, fanatically, for the last 4 years. Due to my lack of experience I carve very conservatively. Each carving takes, on an average, 150-200 hrs to complete. Each carving is original and hand carved with chisels and gouges (except for the initial cutting of the log.) All carvings are made with Aloha! I would post pics here, however I only have a couple of photos on this computer. You can view my carvings at http://www.myspace.com/customkiis Enjoy! I am using Swiss carving tools which use a softer steel. The softer steel loses it's edge quicker than the harder steel, however it is easier to get them back to that razor sharp state that we all enjoy. Just my opinion.
