Wonderful, I think the Tiki is perfect! I realy love the form of the hands and feets.
What do you use for the black grounding? Is it ash? Keep up the good work and let us see your next one.
Mahalo, Kai

Yeah Hewey - I hope to catch up with you in Sydney -seem to keep missing you when we come down - no studies to stop you this time hey! Maybe you can fill in for me when I take a break on stage (might have a drink or two and watch you carve, or I could take a nap) - I'm gonna be wrecked by the time I get down there - two weeks of heavy tiki activity in the states is bound to takes its toll. hehehe.

Mate, you can sleep on the plane home!  I want to see you carve dammit...
I wouldn't feel comfortable hacking away on one of your pieces anyway. Like letting a finger painter help out Leonardo Divinci or something.

Oh man... I don't know how I let the Bongo Tiki slip by me! Too much time buried in my own sawdust!
Incredible work Marcus! Words fail me... the craftsmanship... everything... just incredible!
Looking forward to watching the next one evolve... more closely this time!
Keep up the great work!
