Yeah, that's great and all, but the fifteenth diamond to the left of diagonal line looks like it's about 1/128th of an inch too big. 
Send it to me and I'll double check everything with some calipers.
No, really, you can have it back when either I'm done or you pry it out of my cold dead hand.
Keep up the incredible work!

Sneaky Thanks!
Kahaka, Hope you are enjoying that one.
Ben, I have been up to a little of this and a little of that.

Another Sali.
Something new, a Austral islands paddle. Looooong way to go on this one.

You don't need me to say those are friggen out of this world. 
I gotta say, I took a crack at the first two you pictured... severely lacking in your incredible attention to detail but they were fun to make. And Foundation Tiki Bar was paying for the experiment.
Hope to see you in a few weeks bruddah, keep up the eye popping work.

wow...not much to say about these. I really dig the paddle and hope you'll be posting
more progress pics of that one. Are you using a hook knife or small chisels for that
one?

Robin, Thank You.
Tahitiki, The Paddle has been a challenge, hope it turns out.
T-Bird, Thank You!
Lake, Thanks. Hope you can make it out here. Drive safe!
Conga, As i said above it's been a challenge so far, with lots more to do. No hook knife (That thing scares me) all palm chisels.
Sebastian, Thank You.

Most Excellent work Tmec, I don't think there is anyone around who can compete with you on the detail of these type weapons. I'm sure the Ancients are waiting in anticipation of your excellent work. REALLY Nice stuff!

I meant to post these long ago... two of my favorite pieces in my house were carved by Tikimecula!
Club in front of one of Notch's tikis...
Crappy picture... TONS of detail in the club. TONS of intricate cuts!
TOTALLY dig the Staff God piece!
I need more!
Thanks again Tmeca!
