Hey all,

The Fed gave me the day off for a holiday today, so I thought I would go out and carve for a while. AlohaStation was kind enough to bring me a piece of Mahogany when he came to the Tiki Jam, so I figured I would work on it. It was a lot narrower than most pieces I choose to make tikis out of and it had a fairly major bend in it. I looked at it for a few minutes, focusing on one of the knots in it, and I saw an eye. A few minutes after that I had the saw started and was busy cutting a 44" crocodile slit drum. I can't keep a giant slit drum in the house, so I figured this would be perfect. Besides, I've been drooling over the croc JohnnyP made and posted on his thread.

So here you go, from start to having the first two coats of finish on it. I will put a third coat of finish on it tomorrow or the next day, depending on the weather and the drying time. I hope you like it.

Thanks for looking and all nice comments are appreciated.
