Aloha Campbell!
Lot's of great stuff coming out of your studio!
Love all the character and texture you put in your tikis!
A-1 finish also... gives 'em a real nice vintage look.
Keep up the great work!

Watango, I'm Really loving your tikis. You have Nice skills from the carving, sanding down to the finishing, and I Love how you start at the feet and work up same as Marcus, is that a Down under thing? It seems up here we mostly start at the top and work down, but the way you finish as you go is great.
congrats on the Appleton gig, hope it' the first of many to come!

Lakesurfer-thanks for the comp's,glad you like the finishes.
I try and give my stuff the aged look, so it sounds like it's
work'n.Cheers Watango
Benz-Glad that you're dig'n my carvings,the start'n with the feet
style is something I just gave a go oneday after constantly run'n
out of log for the bodies and seeing Marcus do this so maybe it is
a downunder thing.Hope your feel'n better and ready to set them chips
