You shoulda seen the looks we were getting strolling around Trader Vics with that thing a few weeks ago.
Then I thought the security guard was gonna draw down when BK pulled another club of his trunk and we started twirling away at each other.
If I ever invade another island I'm choosing BK for my team first.

Just wondering if you've kept a few of these beauties for yourself BK? A personal armoury perhaps....if so, I'd love to see some pics. If I made something like that Cula Cula I wouldn't be able to let it go.
I've gotta say after rereading some of your old posts that I'm very impresssed with the amount of research you put into these pieces too.

Paipo I unfortunately don't own a single piece of my own work...I just can't afford to anymore. And I guess in reality it's better off out there in the world. I do own a few pieces from other old TC carvers, like Gecko and Ben. Maybe someday I'll carve myself a special Taiaha. Thanks for the compliments, man.

You do excellent work BK- No doubt about it.. Your passion shines through each piece of work.
I've seen alot of honing of your skills in these last pieces, too.
Can't wait to see this one completed!

There's so many designs and patterns going on there, it's beautiful...I would never have the patience for that, well maybe once...but that would be it for a lifetime. Excellent as usual.
