Cool guy with the fish! I like the way it crosses over into the base and I agree with Will about the teeth, you've got those down...

Killer Ku you got der.
I like the details in the mouth.
Can't wait to see this one done up.
Is that how a Jaw Horse works?
Mahalo!

well, basically the jawhorse is a foot-pedal operated clamp. you put what ever you're working on in the clamp, hand tighten it, and then push down on the pedal and it squeezes harder & then locks.
it's actually a very handy item...I'm definitely glad I got it.

and I would like to invite all of you to my first gig at the Tahitian Inn...
"tiki nights at the Tahitian"...
I know Tampa is a bit of a drive, but I still wanted to make sure all of you guys know you're invited.
Basically I'm doing what I can to get what I call our "fractured scene" together and bring all the tiki-philes to one place to get to know each other, have some tropical drinks & talk tiki...
I'll be doing a live carve, and also asking other carvers to come and do the same (it ain't all about me)...
It's gonna be a monthly gig, and the first one is January 24th, which is a thursday...
I have 2 leather couches if anyone would like to make the drive and would rather crash before going home...
