I'm stoked for Danny, and he's well deserving of all the publicity and exposure!

And yeah... Can't say I'm not jealous as a fellow carver. ?

I guess I'm left scratching my head though as people are falling over themselves to buy his art through Home Depot, when a person could easily commission him to create a custom piece for them... Especially folks who will not have his reproductions released in their Home Depots. Shipping a tiki across the country is really not as expensive as you think it might be... I've shipped many of my own.

Is it the price? Because honestly I'd rather have a one of a kind carved log direct from the source.

Is it because they will weather outside better without worries of damage or deterioration?

Just curious... After 14 years I've stopped carving logs because I can't give them away.

Once again, I'm super stoked for Danny! He's living the dream many of us artists hope for.
