A-A… Some Stuff I'm Working On - Tiki Carving

The water will make pine and redwood snap back into place. After I finish a carving, I will often hose it down. Then it's time to drink a beer and listen to them fizzle and snap. It is like they are talking to you. The next day when the surface is dry, sealing them with a thick coat of marine varnish tends to trap in some moisture thus preventing many of the cracks from re-forming. By the way sweet tiki, I guess it is time for me to put down the chainsaw and retire. Will
