Bill, I don't usually hang out here in the hacker's area but I saw your name on the top of the list and thought I'd check out what you've been up to.
The Brown-Breasted Borneo Babe you were working on at the Feb Chop turned out great! And I love the way you've made designs on your new one with the stain. Kinda like some sort of resist/batik technique.

The war paint and jungle photography gives a very tribal feel to your work. I like!
This is the 500th post on your thread!
Hell yeah man!

Always cool stuff 4WD, your tikis would always be easy to spot in a
crowd. And as for tits, I think they are always tiki, just like
fez monkeys. I guess they're even better than fez monkeys.

MDMike, you need to stop into the "hackers'" section more often. In fact, I predict you will someday have a thread in here!
Kinny, thanks! But I was just trying to emulate you! For those who missed it, Ken decorated one of my carvings last year, using this same white stain:
And thanks to Billy D. Crud for giving me the stain!
Thomas, thanks, you been choppin? Post up!
Dave, that jungle is in my back yard. 
Benz, no more gaps for a while!
Hilda, thanks! See you on the 3rd?
Conga, how about fez monkeys with tits!?! Pushin' the Tiki envelope! 
Fow anyone who doesn't check the Marketplace forum, look through this thread: http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=31985&forum=12&34
Lots of great artists sellin therir wares, and I have some stuff in there, too.

Wheeler, that white really makes these guys sing...very nice indeed 
Sir B is right...they do have a primitive spooky jungle vibe thing happening.
You and Conga are on to something...color used correctly.

Here's a group shot of some smaller ones that I took today to send to somebody wanting to see what I have in the 2'-3' range. Some are new, some are older.
The far left one is making his debut in this pic. I need to post a closeup of just him, maybe tomorrow.
Babs and Clarita, thanks, color is fun! Although white is not a color...

Excellent bunch of Tiki there, really gets the old Envy juices flowing. Glad to hear there will not be more "Gaps".
I would Really love to see some progress shots of your next one?

Ben, I may start another one today, and will get some progress shots.
This one I finished last weekend, just a little guy to experiment with different stains, etc.
