Well Gee, TikiG and Trish, These guys look Awesome, but couldn't you do something a bit more traditional here?. What a pleasure it is for you to go from palm to pine. I'm guessing you don't want to touch another splinter log for as long as you live. I am Really glad you are caught up on Your home work, now you can come help me with mine?. It is Very nice to see you guys carving and posting again, and with such Spectaculer pieces, what'cha gonna do for an encore??

Thanks Ben. We have felt like such slackers here lately when we do not get dirty with tiki stuff. Good to be back in the dust. You are right Sir, NO MORE SPLINTERS, or MOLD, or HEAVY LOGS, or STRIPPING, or HARVESTING, or ROTTEN WOOD and on, and on. Have seen many pieces on here that deserve all the recognition they received, your's especially. You keep the bar up. We just try to keep up.

Those are great. Keep carving and I'm sure you'll find you own style - just as you did with you "original" tikis.

Thanks to Congatiki, Mooney, AlohaStation, Raffer & Mctiki for the nice replies. Thanks guy's. I have enjoyed seeing your works lately as well. Great stuff. Yeah it's been a little while, but we're getting busy with it once again.
McTiki, the water will be warming up soon. Will be headed your way to catch some down south juice in the near future. Wetsuitless hopefully.

You always remind me that Punk Rock lives on, Gary! Those are keepers. Or slightly pricier sellers! The Florida Tongaroa/Maori stacker brings one of the old Cypress Gardens tikis to mind...the one in the reeds on the boat tour...not a lot of it left but it was great when it was in better condition. You're a powerhouse, man. With a powerhouse woman!

Thanks alot B.K. We appreciate that. Never seen the tiki you speak of and probably never will, but I will certainly take your word for it. I hear it's closing. Is that right? Yeah it's nice having someone to help, especially if it's your own chica;)

After carving tap handles for everyone else, we decided we needed OUR own beer kegerator, so we built one;)
  
 
Trish testing out the new product. Nice having cold beer on tap while your working;)

Tiki G,
That pine sure looks good. And its nice to see the Fang style back in the pics. Keep at it, we love to see your progress.
I love the kegerator. That is something i've always wanted to do. Tikified Kegerator, love it.
