Derek,
Thank you very much for your kind compliments.
I have always admired your work, and I saw that you pushed hard for perfection in your pieces.
It has always been something I've strived hard for in my own work. I've smashed countless pieces and chucked many a log
in the firewood pile because I wasn't happy with it. But the next time I picked up a tool, I had figured out a new and better way of doing something.
Glad I could inspire, and thanks for inspiring me all these years. Mahalo!
Chris,
Thank you, and I am really looking forward to the event in a few weeks!
Looks like a great lineup and good time for all!

Dave,
Your gallery looks incredible, but then I pleasantly smile and admire many of these works in my tiki room and other parts of my home in Phoenix. I look forward to seeing you and the new pieces in your collection on March 4th! Hope to add a couple more for the Dexter Gallery!

Larry,
Thanks much for the kind compliments, but this gallery might as well be your home gallery as so many of these pieces are in your collection.
It has been and continues to be an honor and a pleasure sharing my little carving habit with you and your family.
Looking forward to talking story and tipping a few rum based drinks with you in a few weeks!

Hey Dave,
You've done lots of work. And you excel at your work. My wife and I are proud to be owners of some Lake Surfer pieces! Looking forward to future pieces, and to adding to our collection.
Mahalo braddah!

Woody,
Many thanks kind sir for your wonderful support over the years and for the continuing words of encouragement.
It makes my head hurt to think of how many pieces I've created, but I've gotten tons of enjoyment from each and every one.
I'm sure there's plenty more to come down the road.
Ken,
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the props!

Aloha Brian,
Thanks for your compliment on my tikis, very much appreciated.
Best way to get in touch with me is laketiki@yahoo.com or send me a personal message via this forum.
I will get in touch with you via your email address and we can talk further.
I don't think I'm going to make it to Florida this year for the Hukilau unfortunately... hope you all have a great time!

What do your tikis sell for and do you ship?
I like the one on the left and the one on the far right.
