Hey Kirby,
After you mentioned that you started on the Log I traded to you, and you told me to check it out. WoW!!!!!
Killer man, I'm just jealous that I didn't keep it and do it myself. but it had already been sitting on the side of my house fo r3 years. And it still would be today.
Since I was the source of the log, you gotta give me first dibs on it. I may not be able to pay for it all at once. but I'd make payments.
also I say no body too.
Jeff(bigtikidude)

Pretty darn nice Kirby. I like that you've left the bark on, or do you plan to take it off? At any rate, it's my favorite carving that you've done. Nice job.

Ditto... the palm bark looks great! Will it stay on by itself, or do you do something to it to preserve it?

Kirby, I'm with Poly on this guy, his mouth and teeth are really Excellent. You put a Lot of time in this guy and it shows, Especailly in the teeth, but the rest of the detail is Right On too. This has to be your Finest tiki. Nice and smoothe with the chisel tracks showing in all the right places.
Vwey Well DONE,,Don't try to add a body.

I agree too, he's looking really nice. I always think of you as a painter, so when I saw this guy my jaw dropped!

Very cool Kirby! I was thinking of doing the same thing, maybe just 20 or 25 pieces. Those look real classy, if your starting a list then put me down for one.

Hey Kirby,
Please put me down for one. I like the reddish one 3rd from the left if it's not spoken for.
