KTD: He looks like a "lurker", doesn't he? I'm still trying to find when it is acceptable to leave the bark on. When I've tried in the past, it really didn't work out. This one is ok, I just have trouble with the knee pads. He looks like one of those hip hop fly girl dancer chicks. After seeing how it came out, I was thinking of doing two matching ones to be placed in the same room, kind of like a pair of giant wall frames, from floor to ceiling.

You're also getting pretty top knotch with those signs..

If I could just learn to carve stuff amazingly fast on a small scale, then I could actually do the tikis too...But, they need to be affordable. I think I need to get another tool, though. A small japanese pruning saw to make cleaner cuts on the black bamboo. Or maybe a band saw...

T3: I hear you're kind of new here on TC, and have been "making the rounds." Glad you dropped by. Funny what you say about going big: when I check out your stuff; Paipo, Gman, and Ben's too, I find myself swearing that I'll have to go small one day. Then I look at those big logs in my front yard...

Now for the big log in my back yard:
I was sufficently warmed up, so I went back to the challenges of this one's lower body

I'm working on the right side, his left, our right, all right.

More daylight and a lot more to do.
