Chiki! Cool Boat Dude! Can you build a bigger one that will get You, C'Al, Me and Holden over to Catalina? We're talking the So Cal version of the Kon Tiki!!!
Ooops. I forgot. It's got to have a crows nest for King CooKoo!!!

Tikifreak, I guess you are excused. But now with the wedding coming up, you need to work twice as hard, twice as fast and twice as much. Gotta keep the new bride happy.

Hey Benz, We are still in the trenches with chisels gripped tight.
Here is a lamp that I finished up last month:
Tikidiablo, cool canoe. Is it watertight?
Electricty is your friend!

My frame work has been slow as of late but I just finished a new one. This is a double post so my apologies to those who have seen it already.

Chongolio, Nice lamp, I see you have been busy. Monkeyman, your frames are eally awesome. I'd love to watch you carve sometime. In fact it would be great to watch All the TC Carvers at work. It's so interesting to see the different tools and techniques used.
Since my camera is broken I'm trying to use the scanner for Pictures and it is not great.
Here is the last one I finished.Its # 22 and about 3" by 1" Mahogany

Ben,
Youve been told before but your work is truly stellar. Many of us enjoy carving and can manage simple designs but you can REALLY bring all the dimension out of your work.
You are the one who I would want to watch while working.
