One day I will be calling you to commission a carving to overlook my koi pond. It will probably freak my dogs out, but it will be well worth it. Awesome work.

Thanks Everyone for your Responses. It is difficult to come back and fill in the blanks of missing photos as there is no indication what goes where so I will just upload All the Trop Photos I have and they will be here for you to sort out however you like.

Bullet, Sure, I'll start right away but I guess you'll just have to settle for the Curly Lono!! Of course the Big Red is still around Vegas I think residing in a Travel Park around the town of Moapa ..

Swank,, No, I think you need new glasses..My hair is WAY More gray than that :o :lol:

pjc5150, Thanks, it was at the Tropicana Hotel and casino in Las Vegas,...

Hey surfin,THANKS...

Jerome, Thank you too, I'm glad you have enjoyed these pix!

Seeks,, I'm Really happy to have given you some inspiration.

Too bad all these carvings are not together any longer but at least we can see them here..Thanks Hanford!

Cool pics. Looks like they are pretty rough on that one during the demo. Looks repairable though.
