Harro, yes it seems that glass got in my way one day and I had to go through it. Still love wood and stone and bone and Jade but they all pull in Different directions.
BuffBad, Thanks for the kind words.. When you are driving past my area on I-95, Pull off and come on down for a visit. I''ll be happy to show you around the shop and explain some of the tools to you.
C'mon Down..
Thanks T-Freak, You Never know what you'll be missing if you stay away too long from here. Thanks for the kind words.
Johnny, Not yet, they're just sitting there tempting me. I'll get you a fix working soon!

Benze, i have been guilty of the same thing that you last left a message under my thread last year about not crossing over to the other side of creating tiki. Just now getting caught up on your thread, the pebble maori is beautiful. There is so much going on under the two divisions of creating its hard to break away to the other side. Gonna spend the next hour checking out carvings. Looking forward to seeing what you gouge into next!
p.s. congrats on breaking the 100+ pages of beautiful work and shared knowledge, embarrassingly last i checked in i think you were somewhere around 70 something

Benz is still Here, just haven't been carving awhile. Once I get over this stubborn bug, I'll be back at it.
Thanks T-pak for the kind words, the funny words and the encouraging words as well as the other ones thrown in too.  
OceaOtica, Thanks for stopping by "This Side" I know how hard it can be Thanls for the props and kind words. I LOVE your new bowls, especially the "Modern Maori" and your 'Zombi" mugs look too Realistic and Awesome.  
BigT, Thanks for wondering. I'll be back soon with some new stuff and a New thread as this one has gone past the 100 page cut-off mark.
Stay tuned for some new Benzart goodies! THANKS Everyone.

Thanks Digger, it Can't be long now!
Thanks big daddy, OK, If you Promise to be careful you can get the hook knives
HERE and the blades you want are the #10b. There are several different blade styles to choose from and 3 or 4 hook blades to choose from, but the 10B works the best for the hooks.

hey benz, thanks for the info on the knives. started carving a small piece and i've been using an exacto knife and the edge of my chisel, think the hook knives will be better. once again thanks for the info.

Benz, my man! I for one am GLAD to see you rest a bit. You have constantly been a carving monster (carvasaurus maximus) here on TC. And you need a little muscle relax time, recharge batteries etc. And also, I won't feel so GUILTY of non-producing around here!

Big B!!! I hope you're feeling better - I can't wait to see what you have in store. My jaw drops at everything you produce and I'm sure the future pieces will be no different!

Come on, come out from here you are hiding... what's going on up there? Sending some Antartic power your way, I know you like it but if you don't come out to play with us, is going to freeze your butt
