I knew you were a cool guy and did finite work, but pictures do not do your carvings justice. the attention to detail is INSANE and when seen in person, is quite mindboggling.
Good seeing ya at Bens! That maori piece looks just as crazy as the rest of your stuff!!!! You have da FOCUS!

Just amazing. Having finally dipped my toe into this pool I now realise how hard this type of work is to achieve. Congrats on having a couple of your superb clubs immortalised on the front doors of TV's LA too! I'm stoked they utilised the talents of local artists instead of kitting the whole place out with "Polyasian" junk!

I bought this little Pineapple bowl and some other bowls a while back, they are all made in Hawaii from Monkey pod. I was looking at this one the other day and decided it looked kinda plain?
So I took it out to the carving hut and it came back looking like this..
It turned out kinda neat so I might have to do up the others I got also.
Not sure what I'm gonna do with them after I fix them up? Maybe a home Tiki bar could use them?
Oh well something different i guess.
