Hey JT, you are really going crazy way out there where ever you are. I'm Really loving your stuff as I always have. I Know that I can expect from you NOTHING Ordinary and that is excellent. Every piece you do comes from the heart and not from a patern used a hundred times. I Like your stand on duplication. So it's the Peyote, is it? I think you have the ancients dancing in your head and in your heart! |

Bill, Bill, Bill. We haven't heard from you in a while. When will we see your collections/art? I haven't started on the Marq, although I would love to do a piece simliar to Onatiki's. Ya' like "Brooding" eh? I just put one coat of marine varnish on it so it's a little darker than that image you see now. Hey congatiki from the northwoods. Seems everybody likes something different. I dig your birdman with the reptile. Primitive is good. Thanks!! Benz, The Wizard of Wood. You know me well. My moods sometimes overpower my heart. It's too bad peyote is illegal for us whities. It can help a man (if taken in the appropriate setting, AND, if he can handle the truth) see himself and where he's going. Could it be?, I'm part Indian? Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, the ancients ARE dancing in my head. |

Digger, you probably are some part indian, I think it shows in your work and your love of the land and dirt, you love dirt, the kind in the ground. Do you know for sure? Do we ever know anything for sure? |

Here's the finished King Kamehameha. Now.........on to my next. Actually he's finished for carving. With Polynesiac's advice, I'm going to add color. The headress will be decked out, same color as feathers, orange/red, and yellow on the very top. Get in touch with your inner native!!

I swear these aren't decoys I carved. Came home this afternoon to find a lovely mallard couple snatching a free lunch of mosquito fish from my pond. See the male checking out the rubber ducky? I let them have a few bites then I had to shew them away. They flew 20 ft. into my pool. Get in touch with your inner native!! [ Edited by: Jungle Trader 2007-03-17 17:11 ] |

I saw these pieces at the FI party on Sunday and have to say that they're even better in person than in the pics! JT does some awesome carving ... and makes great mugs too ... I have four! Unfortunately, there's no room in my tiny apartment for a full-grown tiki! :( It was great seeing you Vic! [ Edited by: JenTiki 2007-04-26 15:45 ] |

Just a quick shout out to Jungle Trader... I met tikicleen and Jungle Trader for lunch a few weeks ago at Minnies in Modesto. I had a great time chattin with them both. I had seen some of the carvings Jungle Trader had done and asked him if he would be interested in carving me a tiki fountain. I requested one in the form of a Witco fountain, not an exact copy but something similar. I told him I would finish it my self, if he would do the carving and plumbing for me.

He LIVES!! Hey Digger, been wondering about you and here you come building houses now. When did you get into the construction bidness? Excellent looking Long House there, are you ready to offer them for sale? You going to carve tikis on all the poles? Seriously nice work. |

That's too cool, Vic! There's a place off the beaten path in Pickens County, SC where an old farmer type guy has a little roadside village of miniature houses, general stores, a mill house with a waterfall/water wheel, etc.. Many tourists stop and take photos on their way to the mountains (especially near Xmas when it's all decked out with lights and stuff)-he even has a donation box--well worth a buck or 2. Just had me thinkin'-- A roadside miniature Polynesian Village. I think you're the man for the job! |
