It takes awhile to get through all the pictures of your productivity. Awesome stuff; especially the Maori tiki, tables, bars and dart board. You need to come party with us Floridians at the Hawaiian Inn next January.

Thanks Chiki T. It was strange doing the story. I'm not really keen on having a camera stuck all up in my face, but I guess it turned out o.k.......
Your stuff is looking really "jake" I'm totally diggin' it!
Be cool, G.

G, the Marq is Definately your best yet and I would keep him too. You can always make more for your followers.
I think you'll find that when you start carving tikis identifiable to the original, ancient tikis and adding your style to them, that they will be your better works, and people will really love them.

Thanks Benz. I really enjoyed carving this one. It gave me a different kinda feeling as I was gouge into it. After I finished it up and the girlfriend and I were looking at it and talking about how cool it was and how much we should sell it for at the festival. I said if I ever kept one for myself this would be the one. She said, it's yours, you carved it, keep it. You can always make another. She's right....
I think you are also right Benz. AS always!

Thanks Poly, Jungle & Mc.....Yeah it is nice to finally keep one. I knew one day the right one would strike me, and look what it took....a "Marq".

G - Your latest tikis are knocking my socks off! I wouldn't be able to part with that Marq myself. But go out and carve another to sell, just to prove you can. I'm also digging the Kona-Kai and Maori styles you're doing too. Better and better all the time!
