Good skills Craig. Ditto the other comments - he looks great stained up and the adornment really sets him off, especially the black feathers.
I checked out a Tok-Pisin (PNG 'pigin' english) language site and came with "Sap-Kok" as a potential name for him..? 
Cant wait to see your next project!

G- thanks buddy!!! I'm liking the breast plate idea!!! I think I'm going to replace one of the eyes (one of the pupils is off) and then I'll call it quits!
seeks- thanks, I'm pretty happy with how the hair turned out. I have been thinking about how to do it for days. Then the feathers came today and I just went to go give it a dry run and I said screw it and it took about 5 minutes to install!!!
Paipo- I don't know about hair on the tang  , but I'm sure there will be more coming w/ hair!! So I'll be putting the band together. Thanks man!
surfin'- I appreciate it.
Benz- well lets see......I found this place, gman took me under his wing, I come home and do my online classes on TC and study hard and try to apply it in the field. Really I wish I could do a lot better, I'm still not happy with the legs on this one, but I just had to work the best I could with my bad rough out (still learning the chainsaw, well learning to carve in general). Also all the great support from everybody on here including you, you have been very helpful! Thanks, the ancients have chosen wisely.
Thanks Tama, I think the feathers turned out pretty cool too. You know I had to do my research and I think Sap-kok how you say.......sharp penis will work just fine! 
Thanks for checking him out guys!!!

Conga- Hot'n'Crazy, that's what I'm talking about!! I'll try not to freak you out next one?
G- I hope it was a good freak out?
GTP- thanks man!! I'm in it for the long haul!! Thanks for stopping by!!
Benella- thanks, he might be the front man in the band? I might be going to New Zealand on the next adventure??? In my head that is, I wish I could really go their!!! GMAN and I are going to work on one when he comes up here on his next business trip, hopefully.
Here are some pictures of my carvings in there new resting spot and shots of my basement I just finished for those that might not venture to "other crafts". I'm still working in the bar area though!
Ohhh yeah, and I need a cool name for the lounge if somebody has some good ideas........Tama!!!!

Thanks Benz, I know!!! I had three logs, I've been fighting with the bugs and the bugs won!! I still have one more that I didn't debark yet, but I'm sure it is infested too! The ancients weren't with me on these logs!!! I'm on it though.
Edit- The "I know" is not about the talent thing (mine are nothing compared to the rest on this site) I meant it to be it's been awhile.
