Ahoy Conga! This fellow looks a lot like a pic I leaked to Benno a little while ago. Too bad Benno is cheating on me again.... This bloke is/was to be my next BIG project. Oh well, better that you took a poke at him first so I can see where all the perile is. Love him. Love the "action." You rawk dude. -G$ |

Hey Conga - great new stuff from you. Glad the weather is permitting you to get some work done. So you like the arbortech chisel huh? I looked at that recently. I'm trying to find one that will really take a lot of abuse. It looks like this one is tougher than the wecheer and foredoms. |

Nice chops Conga! I love the direction this guy is going in! Great depth and details, and I can tell he's just going to get better and better as you go on! Batten down the hatches... the bottom falls out end of this week! Good time to crank up the heat and head indoors with him! Pour yourselves a good stiff drink! |

What a personality! Your carvings are so unique and lively that they could be characters on some tiki movie! Maybe about a shipment of tikis that crash lands up north and have to cope with savage winters......... |
