I started today's adventures by taking out a 90 degree wedge from a six and a half foot mexican fan palm log.
the plan is to use this as the corner piece on my bamboo tiki front yard fence. Here are the 3/4 of the log that are left:

I think that I will install it before I carve the tiki on it. That way, I cannot change my mind and sell it and never finish this home project. Here is the back side of the log. I will connect the fence cross beams to the edges to make the corner of the fence. Like a tiki pilaster-kind of.

I also have this cool looking six foot plus sliver left over:

Did some more work on this guy this afternoon:

I kind of like this one, so far...

I cannot figure out which is more important in carving: what you take away, or what you leave? This is what I have left over or still to do, which ever way you want to look at it.

TD: Sorry to hear of your stress, glad you're back around here. Good luck finding a new camera.
Benzart: I was injured for a few days. Had to stay away from my tools and TC so I wouldn't become inspired and not rest adequately. Doing a little better now...
