I think it would be a real Treat to watch you work for awhile, just to see this detail perfection machine in motion. I couldn't watch though for more than a few years, cause I'd get bored after that! :P |

Hey there Seeks, your stuff looks great. I spent some time today looking through your whole thread and appreciate all your progress pics to your final piece. It really helps see how people develop the piece and mark out the limbs, etc. Can't wait to see how that headdress turns out. Any new progress on the PNW totem? Do you happen to have any websites like this one or good books that show good images of PNW style art and totems? I've been thinking of trying that style out on one of my swordfish bills like I did with the tiki heads on my thread. I've bought a couple books but just looking to try to find a resource for that style that is as helpful as TC. thanks. |

Seeks... that Lono is really turning out incredible! I'll bet you've lost track of the time put into the detail work. Resourceful idea on protecting that hard work. I can tell you think a lot of things through before you do them... reminds me of myself. :wink: Your latest work is musuem quality... pieces to be cherished forever. Best of luck as you continue on... love watching these guys evolve! |

Man Seeks, this one has been a Hard battle from the start(of the headdress!) and I bet next time you carve a tiki, weather or not it is to be a Lono will not take too much debate in your mind. Has this changed your willingness to carve another one? Of course after this one I Know you have many ideas as to how to make the process simpler and faster..This one is by far the most intricate one I have ever seen. I'm not sure though and to ascertain that for sure I would need to study it Up Close for a good while, so I'll enclose my shipping address and even Pay the postage when you get it finished. :P |

Speechless, Seeks. Its absolutely beautiful. I almost wish I could find a flaw in it. :wink: Are you sure aliens don't come down at night and work on it while you sleep? The texture, the detail, the size.. its all amazing and you should be extremely proud of it all. Congrats.... "Grom" |
