Conga where have you been? Have you been slacking or what? All this talk of needing more tiki carvings and where are you? C'mon man! Just kidding of course :lol: I love what you are doing and, man, are you making an epic run at a personal record! How many big carvings have you made in the last few weeks? Five? Six? Holy smoke! Go Conga! The white stuff is coming soon! -Gman |

If this is what warm weather does to the Congaman, then there is a positive to Global Warming. Excellent so far. A lot of thought went into that. JP |

Super excellent work Conga. Not only is the detail going thru the roof, but the obvious technical issues you have to overcome are glowing. You are Exceling at a very difficult piece. Did you know it would be this hard? |

Conga, I Really Love how youdidn't stick to your original plan and improvised deeply on this ppiece. Too often we don't do that and we miss an opportunity to create a truely spectacular piece. By 'Letting Go" of the rigid plan, you definitely created Much more work fo yourself, but LOOK at the RESULT? You would have had a difficult time Planning this 4 way carving and having it come out so well. You have jumped in and attacked each hurdle as it came and it looks like you are on the final stretch. Excellent skills used and learned here. Thanks for sharing it with us. |

Conga, great update with the stain and all. The details are looking sharp. That's gotta be one of the wierdest and coolest tikis I've seen. Where are you gonna put it? One of the good sides will always be facing the wall. You'll need some kind of lazy suzan rig for that guy. Motorized... On the bar. |

Conga, I see you have not skimped on the sanding detail. I didn't think you would, but one never knose does one! That said, this will be a tikiX4 to end All Tikis. It will take a long tome to beat this one. However the way you are going, the next one will make this one look like a walk in the park. What can I say but You make me proud! |

Conga, This one really takes the cake. What an amazing project. I am so glad you got him to completion without a major setback. If he looks this great in sealer I can't wait to see the full suite of shots of him with some paint and all the other "shizz." Way to go Conga! -Gman |

Four times the fun is almost done! You have done a very good job on the layout and execution of this tremendous tiki, Looking forward to the final pictures. How are you going to display this piece, in the center of the room? It needs to be somewhere it can be appreciated from all sides. JP |
