Alrighty. Let's get what you all came here for over with so that you can get on with your busy lives:

Ok. I'm going to start talking tiki now, so all of you who came here for the sunset, quietly leave...
Thank you.

MattReese: There's also this waist high stump a few doors up the hill on the right from this park in Rolando...

Speaking of public trees...
Any you SD Guyz: Seen that dead tree on the right, right after the Sea World Exit going north. Dibs. Just have to wait until they catch that guy who was lighting all of them on fire last year. Hate to get taken down for that. "It's the Bay Park arsonist, but he's changed his MO. This guy does all kinds of sick things to those trees. You should see the death camp for trees he has in his yard. We need to make sure he gets the maximum sentence allowable by law"

Benzart: Yes, this ficus is fun. Been hitting it with the mallets, hand gouges, and hook knife so far. It's sloooow going because I'm just doing a lot of playing, learning the wood.
I took a little off of it this afternoon:


Close up of the grain. I'm surprised when I look at it and it doesn't look like palm...

Spent part of my day doing log prep for tomorrow:
One, or two, lucky attendees will get the log on the left at the carving party:

I'm doing one of those, "I wonder if..." things with the log on the right. I hope the good wood is thick enough to pull this off.

Buzzy Out!
