The table is excellent Ken. It has a real exotic feel to it.
Love the ID pieces too... your own style mixed with the classic look that William started.
Keep up the great work!

Keigs,
Very cool table. I agree with BK, a set of those would go well in my place. The framed sculptures are beautiful too. Great stuff you have here. Nice to see you around.

Looks like the new shop is working out. I love the finish on all your pieces. How are the tops fixed to the bases?

Thanks rodeo the shop is working out ok. I was going to use L brackets but they would have showed. I did not have any flat brackets so Puamana was going to put them on with flat brackets screwed into the top of the tiki and they would over hang and srew to the bottom side of the table top. Thanks again Rodeo your flame tiki looks great!!!

thanks guys here are a few more. I found about 20 yards of vintage gold velvet fabric thought I would try that for a background. I kind of like it.

thanks Kirby, here is a new one. Its huge 4ft4 inches tall and 12-13 wide. I drew this about 1am in the morning after a few beers. I talked about it on tc chat and Rodeo said carve it. The next day I decided the hands covering his package was not so cool so I changed his body into a bongo player but left the face as I had created it the night before.
