Hi Guys, just been checking out the original swap thread started in Feb, 10000 viewings close to 300 replies to the thread, so I think it was pretty successful.
Glad my piece arrived safely.
Who's up for a Summer Swap (sorry to the NZ guys with your winter approaching)
Maybe a themed swap, list open throught May with finished projects by end of June.
What do you all think. Let's have some ideas.
Best Regards
Flynny
Looks like nautical theme for an end of August completion, have I got the names right.
Tikiskip - completed
Tama - completed
Babalu - completed
Mieko - completed
Sneakytiki - completed
W Plugger -- completed
Ticklish Tiki
Hewey - completed
Queen K - completed
Van Tiki - almost completed
Tikiduddy
Paipo - completed
SurfTiki
P D Drake - almost completed
Tiki Lees - completed
Benzart
Alohastation - completed
Flynny - completed

We have 15 completed or almost completed, one more person would make for an even draw, if all else fails I will donate a second piece, how about Wednesday for the draw.

I'm up for another, although I think we could wait a little longer - maybe June/July rather than May/June?

I like waiting because I would love to get in on it, but I'm not in much of a position to put anything together for a couple of months. The longer you guys can wait the better for me

What about us Aussie guys? 
surf tiki?
hot rod tiki?
Should we try and encourage more painters/artists? We only had one painter, but their work was awesome and I would like to see more

I'm in! I'd prefer a little more time to carve, June is really busy for me already. Summer theme sounds pretty good, I think I have an idea already.
One other idea, maybe a few days before the draw we should get a confirmed count? Maybe with progress pictures included? That way if someone wasn't able to get to the piece, they could just be dropped at that point and people are guaranteed a piece?

Yeah, I agree with this...make the draw from the participants who have posted finished work by the deadline. I thought that was how it would be done last time. It's definitely the fairest way to ensure it goes smoothly.
I don't know about pirate theme - I think we'll just see a dozen tikis with eyepatches, not to mention skulls and crossbones are a bitch to carve! Maybe something more general like sea/nautical themed would give people more scope.
