McTiki, I was thinking of taking a break from carving to build a hut. No, seriously! Ben, you’re making me laugh! Guess I’ll have to burn it & start over. Yeah, that Ficus is really nice to carve. And the “spaulting” gives it some serious character, like a calico striped cat. You explained that phenomenon to me once, maybe you can repeat it for the other guys??. I’m down to (3) logs of this stuff, but going to go pick up some beautiful Santa Cruz redwood logs soon, courtesy of Will at SCTikiShack. Can’t wait! But if I ever run across some downed Ficus again, it’s going straight in the truck. My son Nathan is just dabbling with finger paints now, but I’m really hoping he’s got a little artist inside. We’ll see. :)
