I was totally gonna carve a guy just like this as soon as I get my basswood cut down, now it'll look like I'm copying you.

According to my estimates, I'm tiki guy # 19,367 to do this one.
Do a Moai instead...

No Sun today?

Got some sun today. In fact, it's still here. Very clear. Looking south towards Lindberg field and NAS North Island(what you see when you look out from the Bali Hai)

Coronado Islands, Mexico, behind Sports Arena

Just sunny enough to work on this:

I would have told you that stain makes all the knife cuts show up Loudly but I figured you knew that already, plus I haven't been around much recently.

No. I didn't know. I'll let you take credit for all my successes with the hookknife, but the failures, THOSE ARE MINE! Don't try to take the blame away from me by claiming you weren't here to stop me. Mieko's right, I could have sanded it more,done a better hookknife job...But it's a process, and this is only one step.
There were only 7 mistakes, and it was my 4th little piece. I was way happier with it than I expected to be. It's funny, the marks look worse on the computer screen than they do when I hold it. I need some different rotary bits because the one I was using couldn't quite fit where I needed it.

Back to Work...

Sunset on the Way, Buzzy Out!
