Don't ever call an Ape a Monkey, have you learned nothing from Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall? I love the glass-like finish you managed on this guy. Great! |

Surfintiki, yeah, the Ziricote is beautiful, but tough! Another thing, the wood smells amazing while you're carving it. It's like some kind of wonderful insense. Big Daddy, thanks! I wanted to give him some personality. Seeksurf, thanks for the comps! Ben, I thought you'd like that. :D AlohaStation, Check huh? OK, but don't cash it until the date I write on it. :wink: Tikimango, thanks again, but watch out for those damned dirty apes! I'll have a bunch of these resin copies for sale there too, on the cheap. |

Here is a lono pendant that I worked on almost completely durring my son's baseball practices, done completely with a hook knife and a small gouge. The result is something that is not as clean as some of my other stuff, but that's OK since I will be making a mold of him anyway. |

WOW! Those chips fell out at the right places. You knocked another one out of the Pineapple field If you keep carving masterpieces at practice. I can wait to see when he has a Double header :). Next up ........................... Carved Tiki Ball Bat ? ? ? |

Tiki 65, a baseball bat, huh? It would be cool if I could carve one that could still be used. I'll think on that for a while. Thanks for the comps! leleliz, I just poured the mold right now. I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks a bunch. :wink: |

Thanks everybody! This was an end piece of zebra wood that I'm sure came from Benzart's place. Being an end piece, I didn't really want to carve it, but it was way to beautiful to throw away. So I made this simple piece to show off it's amazing color and grain. |

Finkster! I love the end grain zebra wood. It has a different "stippled" look with all the end grain dots. Very unique. All of your resin pieces are looking fantastic! Tell the kids to keep on drawing and doing art like their good ole Dad. My son is the same way, and he loves to draw tikis. |
