I'm happy to see that you finally got around to finishing that Lono. Just let me know when I can come pick him up?? It only took you 3 years(?) to getting around to finishing him up!! Oh yeah - the other stuff looks great too.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Simply....................WOW!
I like the natural curve, it gives it extra character and depth. Every piece you carve has a special look about it. That's why it is so enjoyable to look thru your thread time and time again. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with me and the whole TC community.
When I go over to Swanky's I'm able to look at one of your bigger carves.
It seems to capture my attention every time.
Aloha & Mahalo

Maybe off topic here, but where did you get that mahogany? I can't find anything bigger than 3 inches to cave and I really want more like 6.
Are you just getting that guy finished or is this another one. I swear I recall that guy from a while back. Makes me want to not stain but wax some stuf... Nice.

gasp........i just passed out
out of all the great work displayed on TC, i spend a lot of my time just going through your stuff. i don't comment as much as everyone else because im just starting out myself and dont have much to contribute to a master such as yourself. your style and technique is amazing ben.......i think you should right a book or something. i'll pre-order mine now.
Actually, have you ever thought of doing a book of your art?
