How the heck did you get that so perfect? I've been looking at this for a few days in awe.

Actually I was traveling for work, and when I walked into this shop I knew I had the answer.

Wishful thinking on Everyones part, I swear this one looks like he came out of that CNC machine, just perfect and actually thats the only issue with it, it's so perfect it doesn't look like a person carved it, Not that thats a Bad thing mind you. :lol: :P

Dayum! Dems some purdy logs! Sweet skills Seeks! I knew you were messing with us from day one! You are some master sculptor just bugging on us poor termites, right?

S

Thanks surfin tikifreak and GMAN

Well my 2 week Vac is over and yes i spent more time
around the campfire looking at the tikis then I did
carving them. I'm ready to carve something diff after
tall lono I think all my tikis are all looking the same.

The surfing was good at times.

I spent alittle time working on tall lono.



J

Now that vacay is over, get busy. It must be hard to leave that place to go back to reality. It looks really nice even without the wonderful carvings adding such ambience.

veryy killer man, your tikis are off the hook!

Seeks, Your carvings are SWEET my friend. You have a Great Talent,Aloha your friend Mooney

Seekers,

That tall Lono is the S&it! Man, seeing all your guys together makes me drool. You have really produced some slammin' work this last year. Thanks for sharing it with us.

This tall fellow is really stunning. I love how the headdress goes right down to his butt. If this rough out looks this good now, the finished piece is gonna turn us all on our hedz. Keep going and show us everything along the way!

Yeah, I see the "surfers welcome" sign!

B

I'm with the other guys, I think theres something unholy goin on in the BOG, Careful. You have just too many top skills for just a few tikis and I think they are Wanting something so don't say you weren't warned. Just finish the new guy and move along!

To the NEXT tiki. :lol: but keep a close eye out.(not like Tamas Cat):P :D

S

JohnnyP - THanks for the wonderful ambiance Im digging the
view when im there.

thomas - Thanks for the off the hook!

Mooney - You the man thanks.

GMAN - Thanks for the stoke You the best.

surfin - glad you like wife bought me the sign only seams
to attract men?

Benz - Thanks old master love the story I think now
i might look and think twice when I'm down there buy myself.

Looks like Im heading back to the tiki bog soon weee surfing
and carving coming up! IAM 751 Strike is going down 12:01
