well I'm pretty worn out from doing a kid's charity event all weekend.
but it's time to get back to work in a big way....I have a lot to do.
but here's a few pics from the "faces of courage event" including a tiki I did while I was there with the kids...it's basically a little 3 day pre-christmas camp for kids who have cancer & blood disorders, and their siblings.

today's gig... working on some fishing rod holders. the fishing guys love these things. If you know someone who fishes and you want them to be stoked, make 'em one of these. some of 'em will be tiki, some will have some little redfish & snook carved on 'em.
and I finished this guy & delivered him to his new owner (the same nice lady who commissioned the "scooter moai"...
also, here's a neat vintage water ski that I'm making into a cool skateboard for this chick I know.

ok, getting the fir trader prettied up for his trip out west. At this point I've sanded him to 320.
I think that this is pretty much the best tiki I've done to date.
I'm gonna miss him. I feel like I'm sending a part of myself away. But I respect the guy who's getting it. He already has several really nice pieces from some pretty well-known guys, and I'm just stoked that this guy will be among them. But yeah, that's the sacrifice you make to be a professional artist...it's all for sale. even the one's you wanna keep.

That certainly is a wonderful piece! Detailed, smooth, and just all around attractive to the eye. Excellent work...it must suck to let it go but somebody will get great pleasure out of owning that one. Sharing your work is the most rewarding part about creating!

That headdress is so jagged
it could cut you 3 ways.
Wide, deep & repeatedly.
