Thank you all for your thoughtful responses. The adventurous side of me wants to watch the ceremony without being part of it. If the guy insists I be a part......I'm bailing and I'll let some of the other carvers know, so they might have an opportunity to do it. When I told him it would cost 100 bucks a foot for chainsaw carving 7 or 8 feet, he asked "how much for hammer and chisel?" I think money is no object for him, so you guys and gals that do h & c might be able to get 200 a foot.

:music:Timothy Leary's dead, Oh no he's outside, looking in.:music:

To add to this, I don't think this guy is one bit "religious", he wants it to be "authentic""traditional", according to ancient Polynesians, but it seems like we might getting into semantics here. No offense taken. Some might call it a "pagan ritual" which then would be offensive and hurtful to the one who died on the cross according to the Christian faith. I think I better stop talking about this.
