hiltiki--I'm hurryin' fast as I can go.

Lowcat-thanx! I can send you a whole palm log w/rootball free of charge!-----shipping/handling will be $3824.16.

Benz and Gman---I've got skinny legs and a big head too and manage to stay upright most of the time so he should be OK! Actually, when I was hackin' on his neck I thought--'Wow, that's getting pretty narrow, I better back off. For the legs, I'm leaving a strip of wood between his legs on the backside that runs from his arse to his ankles that will be the thickness of the original log (front to back-minus bark) and about 2" across (side to side) to keep him from snapping at the knees.

as seen here:

and here:

Me (sans mask) in pic for size reference. I'm 6'-4" and the big guy is about 8' to the very top of the roots-the deck is about 9' high

Da Wahine and my dog, Zoot the fearless crab slayer here:

Zoot with ceremonial crab slaying lei gets snipped on the schnoz. He brings these things home from the lagoon across the street and eats them, really! (I prefer mine steamed with a little Old Bay seasoning)

Almost finished. Got to do some 'symmetrifying' and sand and finish--should have mo' pics in a few days.
