He's starting to take shape. Just the head dress, some clean-up, a lot of sanding, stain and poly to go.
Sorry about the crappy pics. I'm tired and that 3rd Rum Runner was a bit hard to get down.

I'm digging that symmetry and those clean lines, finkdaddy.... Do I detect a little OCD in your work?  He's looking great.

Finky, he is looking great, even with the Maitai's. Nice clean lines as usual. tthis is looking like a Finky Trademark. Can't wait to see him done..

Looks prety good Finky, though I'm not sure with the dark pic's. I'm sure it is another typical perfect piece by FinkDaddy. Enjoy Exocita!

Thanks everyone, you always make me so happy! I fixed up all the pics. I thought this one needed to have a little extra bite since he seems so fond of making me bleed. No time to chat though, I'm out the door. I wish you all could be there!
ALOOOOOOOOOOOHA!!!!!

You pulled off the shark excellently. Are you keeping this guy for yourself?

I think that I spotted that one. It was wearing a white hat, right? Oh, and I saw a Benzart (Brown Moai) waering a ball cap.

Thanks guys. I will eventually post all the pics of the fun we had as soon as I'm finished rehydrating myself! 
Raffertiki... No, the shark tiki is going to Kirby in a trade for some art. This one is going to be hard to let go, he knows how to party! The next one I do will also be traded for art, only he will stay in Wisconsin at the Congatiki room. Some day I hope to keep one or two for myself!
TeaKey... Yep, and he can't dance worth a damn!! He and Benzart (mai in a brown cap, aka Hala Bullhiki) became best of friends. I wish I had met you!!! Next time.
