Beautiful work, McTiki. I just ran through the whole thread for a McTiki Retrospective and enjoyed every minute of it.

I must echo Professor G's remarks. I went through your gallery a couple weeks back and had forgotten how many great carvings you have shared with us. I know you will have more surprises for us but for now I believe you have really hit your stride on those panels. NICE !

Very distinctive McTiki, really like the treatment you give to the leaves and palm trees.

Thanks. ...... Ohana
I think for rare exceptions......I will tone the colors down to what is only achievable with wood stains such that the grain can still speak through the colors. Vibrant was fun, but, a lot of grain features are lost.
Mahalo and thanks for looking.

Hmmmm.... its hard to tell if I like them or not from the pics you posted here... I think you should send the panels to me (Signed, numbered and with certificates of authenticity of course) so I can hang them in my home and really get a good look at them... could take many years 
Outstanding work McTiki!! The Carving, Colors and Themes are terrific. I guess you could say "you've carved out a sweet little niche for yourself!" I can't wait to see more panels!
TC Rocks!

Thanks for the comments!
I finished the carving portion of this 3 foot panel named "Hau' Oli Kai"
Should be staining after an hour or two of OCD sanding/burning.
Thanks for looking...
