Wait a minute - your not doing some crazy off the wall design that crept out of the darkest corner of your brain? I just don't know if I'm OK with this. Not to mention the implecations of curbing your creative juices. |

Great Lono!!!!! Conga, your carving skills never cease to amaze me. What you just said about the headdress is the EXACT reason why I have never carved one of these, yours looks fantastic!!!! |

whatever your historic basis is, it sure seems to be kicking helmet hair in the toupee. That looks well on the way to being incredible! |

Of course I was refering to a 12-point tiki. If your going with 30 points, better do a Kane. Lots of spikes on those hats. :) |

They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds. (Winston Churchill) leave it imperfect, that's your personality coming through, if you over finish it it'll have no soul. my two cents ;] |

Awesome two cents! I'll take some of that.. nothing in nature has perfect lines - I'm reminded every time I look in the mirror :o I tend to be my own worst critic and this takes a load of my mind. Conga I've been through your thread several times and I dig your work! This is nice piece congrats. |

I have beat myself up over the lack of the symetry I sometimes (ok.....everything I have created) I have instead focussed more on the soul of the piece. I'm. Diggin the Congas work! Full of genuine personality that is unique to you. Excellent! Mahalo Symetry is over rated! McTiki |
