Benella: Thanks alot.I just hope I do not mess it up or lessen its impact with a poor stain job. I saw you were working on a similar piece too. More and more moais. I love it!

Paipo: I was talking to a guy todaywho was a carver at one time and he suggested the same thing. It's starting to sound like the best idea for this little guy. I really do not have any other experience with finishing any other wood type but the palm, so it's a tough call on this. Carving many feet per month: How do I do it? I come up with ideas of things I want to try faster than i can do them, so I'm always physically trying to keep up with myself. And I have a lot of spare time...

But since I'm carving all the time, is it really spare time?

When Benzart has his wife get his computer fixed for him, I'll ask him about the beeswax finishing for the little piece.

For now, I'm done with this, except some clear. Check out my new Ron Rico sign. Muy suave!



I went to the carving party and planned on just hanging out and talking. That was a stuipid idea, so I tried to finish a whole tiki as fast as I could. So, this is my hand carved version of a slash and burn tiki. This is definitely not my finest hour. But it's a great way to spend a couple afternoons..

Little Brother Jimmy Tom: Remember when I moved out and you went and broke all of the stuff that I had left in the band room? Well I finally found a replacement for my Ron Rico sign that you smashed. So now I don't wish that I would have kicked your ass more when we were growing up. Now I wish you would pay me for the sign that I bought at the swap meet yesterday. Kiva sends you a kiss and she's saving one for when you get home this holiday season. Bye little brother.

Should I Stain or Should I Sleep Now Buzzy Out!
