Thanks Skoo, I am looking forward to Caliente and hope to see you there. Also trying to get into Oasis, should know soon. MDM, he may look all sophisticated but he swings a mean mallet, and Will I would be dangerous if I had a lesson or two about the rules of carving. Thanks for the comments, time to start a new batch. |

I don't know why, but I seem to always forget to look at the carving threads. I just went through your whole thread from where I last left off and am picking up brain matter off the floor. DAMN CY. Such incredible stuff! A lot of your work reminds me of Basil Wolverton, but in real life 3D! In fact the way you name your tikis it reminds me of those "ugly cards" from the 60's which both Basil and Wally Wood worked on. From your shot of Mt Hood in one of your older pics it looks like you are pretty darn close to my neck of the woods in Sandy. Thanks for talking about the Hale Pale event I did not know about it, I will have to try and make it there I have yet to get to any kind of tiki event so it would be my first. I would love to see your mind blowing work in person. :) And "Croquet Ray" made me quite literally laugh out loud. Too awesome. [ Edited by: tigertail777 2013-04-21 06:22 ] |

Thanks Will and amate, I get the word surrealistic a lot so it must be true. TS & BT I plan on doing more lamp shades as it's fun and easy. I just layered Sharpie markers on. I have been finishing projects to take to the Hale Pele show here May 11 and then the Caliente event the following weekend. "Dick" is done. |

Thanks a lot guys I really appreciate the kind words. I get a bit anxious in the days leading up to these kind of events so your comments give me that extra boost of confidence. The week after Hale Pele I head to Palm Springs for Caliente, then Tiki Kon here in Portland come July and in August the grand-daddy of West Coast shows Tiki Oasis. Should be fun! |

I had a fantastic time at Caliente Watango and it would be worth your while to attend! I took a month off carving but am glad to get back at it. I cut a great looking piece of cedar that had rotten away in the middle but maintained a nice outer shell. [ Edited by: cy 2013-06-02 16:25 ] |

I've been making progress on "Makemake". He is named after the god of fertility that the early inhabitants of Easter Island used for motivation in a racing competition down steep volcanic slopes, into shark infested waters to a rock island. There they would nab an egg from the nesting terns and try to be the first back to the village with it unbroken. |

Makemake looks great Cy - always thinking outside of the box! So you climb down sharp rock cliffs, swim across shark infested waters, collect the first sooty tern egg of the season, swim back across shark infested waters, climb up sharp rock cliffs, and present the egg to the elders. And what do you win for this feat of courage? Rights to all the island's virgins? No, you get to grow out your fingernails, live in seclusion for a year, and have all the tern squabs you can eat ~ no thanks :lol: |

Thanks Skip, pretty sure anything bigger won't fit as I am at the limit and can't carve any deeper. Maybe you can use as thin a netting around it as possible, but if I can't squeeze it in I will keep the red and put the blue in the bar instead. MadDog I have been thinking the same thing and would have just been a spectator at this event. (Someone has to stay around the village and protect the women) Jeff glad I could give you a little inspiration as you have to me. Really like the black pieces you got going and am thinking about doing one myself. |
