Thanks for peeking in Cy, AtomicMess and Will. Have to work a little harder on the
"ear-figures"...that's my best shot at getting something "tiki" into this carving.
A little color...but not finished yet
One wing gets a blue moon
The other gets a yellowish sun
Some tiki things in the works too, don't give up on me yet!

Somehow I was referred to a collector of totem poles and Indian carvings (his
backyard has 15-20 large and beautiful totems) and it looks like he's going to
purchases several pieces, including my Cigar Store Indian from a few years ago.

Hello McTiki. I have been meditating on the word "tiki" and I'm hoping it sinks in.
Celebrating my birthday with a little cheap tequila so I may channel some inspiration
overnight.
Thanks for the compliments Jeff, I noticed your possible "totem commission" on
Facebook earlier today. I'm sure you are up to the task. I love the nw style of
carving--wish I were better at it.

Thanks Jack and Ben....
Jack...the biggest problem with carving a chicken is that it
makes me hungry when I look at it. Been eating a lot of fried
chicken 
Hi Ben...appreciate your kind words. I might have to become a
better drummer...can't seem to locate a nice piece of basswood.
I started working on a large piece but found a rotted out area
and just pushed it off to the burn pile.
Think I'll sling some chisels this weekend tho, maybe something
will come out of it.
