Killer stuff, Mang. So are those babies fixed outside, or do they carry them inside every night? Hate to see them marred by some dumbshits roaming the streets at night.

K KreepyTiki Member Joined: Mar 18, 2007 Posts: 217	K KreepyTiki Posted posted on Fri, May 15, 2009 1:02 AM Danny -- Your amazing, masterful creations set the scene SO perfectly it's now impossible to imagine the LATVs experience without them! Wish you would carve miniature versions of them, or produce them as ceramic pieces so we could all have our own replicas of them at home! I'm curious (as are others) -- DO they take them in at night at closing time, or are they always out there on the street? (I sure HOPE they take them in, 'cause I don't trust NOBODY these days -- especially with pieces THAT beautiful! Cheers & Mahalos :drink: :tiki:
TT Tucson Tiki Member Joined: Jan 27, 2008 Posts: 212	TT Tucson Tiki Posted posted on Fri, May 15, 2009 3:05 AM Awesome work. Beautiful. I am very curious what kinda money does that brings to you. No one ever talks about that. I would be very interested in that really. I try to sell all my stuff that I carve and it would be helpful to know these things. Of course I am no where as talented as this. Impressive. What kind of wood did you use? [ Edited by: Tucson Tiki 2009-05-16 09:29 ] [ Edited by: Tucson Tiki 2009-06-02 10:33 ]
