Conga, The details you have added look terrific. The small hook details really add to the overall look and that lizard is a great addition! This is a wonderful carve you have going. Keep pushing forward. I can't wait to see him finished up and in all his glory in the Conga Room! But don't rush him; keep going until you are REALLY sure he's done. Sorry I missed this post earlier. Great stuff goin' on here! -Gman |

You pulled out all the stops on this guy! Love it. The finish looks like you just pulled it out of the jungle from where it was adored and revered. What's next? JP |

Conga, I don't know what to say...it's magnificant! I love everything you did. There's so much to look at and so much variation in the staining/coloring. Wow! What a cool piece. As folks have said above, it looks like it was just recovered from the jungle of some far off place. I love this.... -Gman |

That's such a cool looking piece - the body and posture look a little PNG, the eyes remind me of a Marquesan U'u and the overall finish really gives it touch of antiquity. I love the skinny elongated body. [ Edited by: Paipo 2006-07-20 19:37 ] |

Damn, Conga...you popped that sh*t like a shoeshine rag! Awesome, highly creative work. Trying to do art without being repetitive or plaguristic in some fashion is tough, but your mind works from point A to Z (Tiki Robert Pollard?); you're an open channel. Some of the most interesting, original stuff here, man... |

Pearl Jam=Buzzkill...I mean like bad. Those guys should listen to more Hasil Adkins and Link Wray. Go lowbrow. Drink cheap bourbon instead of Starbucks. Pop some blues and go to the Who show.... |

Damn Conga, I Really love how much your work has blossomed here recently, ever since you started to do PNG stuff, you have just plain gone crazy.. " Crazy Conga" is gonna be yer new name. I don't think you have been carving for even 2 years yet, how'd you get so good so fast? Can't wait tom see what your next one will be. |

Who authorized a Vacation?? I don't think there is time enough for you to take such liberties. Your next carving demands your utmost, Unterrupted, participation and leaves no personal time for anything but the utmost bare personal needs! Check with management after 30 days! Until then, cancel all travel and leisure plans that have been made. |

Conga, That looks so like your stuff :) ....but that's gonna be one mother of a pendant. You will need a big old gold chain to hold up that bling-bling! I can't wait so see where you are going....is the back gonna get hollowed out? -Gman |
