Conga, Finky, Zaya, Tama, Benz, Tikigap, and Kings,

Thank you for the kind words about the bonz. They were fun, but you know I like to go big and rip wood with the saw. Yeah Tama, big is my thing, and the saw is my scalpel (I guess you've never read my thread?! :lol: ). I love to run saws and make them do things they were not made to do.

Anyway, I dusted off the kevlar and gave my saw a good once over. It was sound as a pound. I switched out my work chain for my carving chain and gave it a nice hand sharpening and a brush of oil. I could feel the love....

I had the master plan in my saw box (see first picture below :D ) and a 2 year cured cedar log with branch bumps in all the convenient places. How could I lose?

Anyway, here is the rough out of my new tekoteko. He is somewhere around 45" or 50" tall. He'll be one sided (right side) with a finished "front" and "back" end. I took pics as I went and the last pic is as he sits now. He will get much cooler as I get into him, but I'm sure you can see where I'm going.

I hope you like him....and thanks for looking!
