Seek,
You sure don't carve like a kook. You are officially alowed into the lineup with no ruding. (Just don't throw shakas)
Nice peice of work there.
What were your tools of choice?

SS,
This piece is beautiful. I'm very glad you chose to become a member and show us your work. It looks like you had a few practice pieces and then decided to head straight for the "big time." This new guys is the "big time", and you should be very proud of him.
-G

Yes! copy the hell out of mine! I only "borrowed" certain aspects for tiki. Seriously, not much of mine is original. That's kinda what we're all doing, copying the originals, tweeking them a bit, then sit and gawk at them. Cool.
Yours is looking awesome, the body is tight! Killer for your 4th. And with your tools, you're set to carve lots!
Good to have another surfing carver around. Welcome.
Aloha

Progress shots, Man I'm learning a lot, but also struggling with cemetery.
Gman, Nice gator buy the way. The morning sun adds a nice color to the Pic's
Marcus thank you for the words of support.

I REALLY HOPE you mean symmetry!
Although it is about that time of year to struggle with a cemetery.
Awesome carves!
