I'd be interested to see what one of your jobs with a full body would looks like. Cool stuff, Octane...we have that love of Marquesan stuff in common...I think people overlook the importance of that style; it was far and above the number one style featured in the old tiki establishments. There was more Marquesan stuff than any other type of tiki featured by a longshot. But it oft gets ignored nowadays. Weapons, too. Only OA and Jack's of Fiji make them, (and a miniscule amount by me) as far as I know, and they're pretty vital to the right look in any proper tiki environment. Brad has mentioned interest in getting you to help me tackle some large poles for Hale Tiki (he needs 8 12-footers, about 8-10" diameter, and can be half-round)
