Grog, hang10, Grand Poobah and Jeff... Thanks guys for the kind words! Taking it up a notch tonight... Got a good start on this 5 foot Cannibal Trio pole while watching the Billabong Pro Tahiti on the IPad. |

Amate, I guess I look a bit taller then I am here... Camera angle. I'm only 6'. Boy, no pressure there. :wink: I have my screw ups once in a while, but I guess they are hard for anyone but me to see them. Thanks, I appreciate the kind compliment! I've got my favorites and pieces I'm really comfortable with... Those are my staples, but I've been doing some new "out of the box" pieces that have been turning out alright.

Grand Poobah, thanks for the kind compliments! I used a combination of three different colors of stain on this, some are wiped on and some are brushed. The marks all come from carving. |

Carved a couple of tikis from the recently acquired Red Cedar. "Marquesan Tiki" is 11.5" H x 5" W and "The Sneer" is 10.5" H x 3.5" W. The deeper the cuts, the more the red heartwood peeks through. |

Aloha Jeff! Yes, I remember you doing some work in Red Cedar in the past. Soft enough to palm carve, and it leaves a nice waxy finish on the surface. And the surprise inside is really cool. Thanks for the kind compliment... Much appreciated! |
