(from artist's site) - Dave's interest in building and collecting Ukuleles came from his father Ray, who's own interest began when he was about seven years old. Couple that with his Design Engineer background, this made for a perfect environment for Dave to be mentored under.

Drawn to art at an early age, Dave was driven to create things; be it sketching, painting sculpting or woodworking. Most people believe creativity to be an intrinsic talent and Dave believes his ability to be enhanced by the logic and engineering his father passed to him.

(from artist's site) - As close as I can figure it started back in about 1966. My uncle was a surfer, and he once gave my dad a three foot stone Tiki as a gift. My dad put it out under the big tree next to my play house, where it stood for almost twenty years until said tree was cut down and the Tiki disappeared. But back then that Tiki was about as close to magic as it gets. It made an impression I guess. I have been carving Tikis as long as I can remember, but things really got going in 1993 on the day my wife and I drove up north for our honeymoon.
