Lake, those are making my arms ache looking at all of them. You've been busy! Great styling - hope you got lots of sales.

Hey LS - I'll bet those chisels are just about burned out! Those are some cool pieces.

Mahalo all for your kind words...
Sam... they never get burned out... just sharpened up again!
It is the excitement of freeing that next tiki out of the log that keeps me going... sitting among them all with admiration and a drink in hand is just a bonus!
Ben... I'll have plenty again for Hukilau, no worries about that! There's a stack of un-barked logs in the back yard staring me down everyday... I have to make a dent in the prepped logs in the studio first...

Thanks for the compliments! That's the fun part about carving tikis... the wide variety of styles and types inspired by all the different cultures of the South Pacific. I don't think it can really get boring. Many times I've gone from the Marquesas to New Zealand and then to Hawaii in one week on the carving table!
