Mahalo to all of you, TikiG, Bullet, MadDog, LLT, Wendy, Babalu, Tobunga and Grog!
All the lurkers too.

Funny, I had been thinking of abandoning polynesian-inspired carvings to
concentrate on other subjects that might be more appealing in the deep northwoods
of Wisconsin. Beans to that, TC is my carving-art-family and that's where
I'm staying. I can't turn back now after getting an A+ from Grog :)

Dude, what TikiG said. I've watched your thread since its inception, and now I finally own one of your creations. I'm thinkin' he's gonna need a buddy one of these days, probably next winter when he realizes he hasn't seen any snow here in San Jose!

Conga, I love your unique style of carving, I also love all the colors you use in these pieces. These pieces would look good in any setting inside or outside. Keep carving, love the last Moaihican.

Excellent work man! very impressed, what wood are you using? Funny to see snow on your carvings,,,,,,,,, bit incongruous!

congatiki posted on 12/01/2010

Thanks Amate, you know that I'm a fan of yours too!

Shalumboomba, welcome to TC and thank you too, great user name by the
way :)
Appreciate your comments, most of my stuff is Wisconsin basswood, nice to
carve and easy to get. Hope you enjoy your time at Tiki Central.

Conga, Man-oh-Man it's Great to see so much of your stuff all together here. It's hard to realize how much you have carved and you're just Now getting started?
Awesome stuff my Friend!

Thanks Cy :)
I doesn't matter to me what you call it, just happy that
you like it. Your description is pretty accurate, lots of
influences blending together.
Thanks Zero....your painting looks great in my lounge too.
Spring is here in Wisconsin, finally, more "stuff" coming soon.

McTiki posted on 05/06/2011

While I am positive that i have commented and aspired from many of these pieces in the carving forum, I had not viewed this until today.

The level of craftsmanship is way high as are the finishes. Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you for sharing and I apologize for not seeing this sooner.
