I've been visiting like a ghost since 2005. I was at the Tiki crawl in San Francisco in 2005 but didn't hang with the crowd much. Just so you know,' I have been inspired by many post that I have read here. Then last weekend I was looking at the Carving posts and decided to get off my "duff" and TRY some carving... well, I got the bug now. Its like getting tattoos, soon as you are done you're thinking about the next one. So, I'm (hopefully) attaching a picture of my first tiki carving.
