Hey Lake thanks for the bump, its been a busy year. Some carving but not as much as I would like. I started building my dream shop for carving in January a 36x40 with a 18x 36 room upstairs. Then had to go work in California for almost a month got back in late Feb worked on my dream shop a little more. Until my work shipped me to Idaho for 4 months got back from that in late October and have been slowly trying to finish the shop. I am getting damn close. I have carved some items but nothing new and exciting. I hope to have some new stuff soon. After I fill a few orders for people who have been waiting for a while. Here are a few pics of the shop progress I know its not tiki but its all I got. Thanks for the replies, I will have to get my ass in gear there and catch up to all you guys and gals carving like crazy.

Love the new stuff! Not a fan of painted tikis but your Sun God pulls it off really nice. Great work.

Jungle Trader posted on 06/13/2010

Another step in the ongoing evolution of the Witco style.
I gotta say, from my perspective, (which is a little twisted sometimes), the face of that SunGod looks a little bit like you.
I'm jus sayin'
