That is so cool it looks like it covered everything with snow. (assuming thats what that white stuff is all over the place) He really looks good. I like the Bark too. You take it easy, that looks like a big log. My mind is still drooling over that sppliers pile of logs..7' diamater logs??? WOW. Now I gotta go wash my keyboard.

I love your style, Raffertiki! That charity is lucky to have a donor like you.

J$, I didn't know you were a barkman. :)
Thanks Ben, This white stuff has been persistent this winter, but I don't let it keep me from carving. I wish I had a pic of myself carving as the snow was falling.
Thanks Aaron, and don't listen to these mullet comments. It's obvious FF doesn't recognize dreads when he sees them.
Thanks Rodeo, I keep you posted on how it fares.

I love when old posts resurface like this. I've not gotten through the entire thread yet and won't today-gotta go work so we can buy more tools!
I love the idea of the "sideshow bob" plant do on the first one you carved, which was just great btw.
I also wanted to jump in and tell you that we got the prints. THANK YOU! I love them both tons, what a great Birthday present that Ono cooked up with your help! You are a truly talented guy!

TikiTita,
I wish my wife would say something like, "we have to get more tools." Actually she's been a good sport about my purchases so I won't complain.
I'm glad you like the prints. Now I get to say Happy Birthday.
Oh, and thanks for making my day.

Hey Raffertiki, this is some fine work! I really like the different tones and the bark. It's really tastefully done!

Thanks Sam.
Well the silent auction went off last night. They had everything from Mets Tickets, a Tour of NBC Studios,saddles and other horse gear, a horse (which went for $500, poor horse), yada yada yada, and my tiki which went to a very happy woman for $175.
Now I need to find another log to carve.

Way to go Raffertiki. You are turning into a Popular artiste. Now you have to find bigger logs and buy bigger tools. Just watch the neck and back...
