Good month.

Hey, I like the Dante referance, but why not just call this thread "House of Buzz"? It's becoming its own website, a place to hang out like a little neighborhood bar.

Where it's always Hapy Hour...I thought about changing the title of my thread at the start of the new year. But, some days I post about 8 times and work on three different projects at the same time. I think everyone pretty much knows I constantly update and am always working, so I do not "advertise" what's up. And if I forgot to update my title, would peole stop checking in?

Wow, your well doesn't run dry. Seems like you have endless supply of tikis waiting to come out of your chisels.
Did you sell GROG's moai, or did you give it to your mom?

If only my hands could move as fast as my mind does.
YOUR moai is still sitting here...
Mom's in NoCal training with Ceaser Gracie, for the Tong Hut Tournament.

Tight Buzz!
As I gaze towards your place the clouds seem to be breaking? Fingers crossed for a shiny weekend.

Hey Babalu. Thanks. I also meant to get in touch with you about some stain and stuff...Got a big pile and some samples to show how the colors turn out on the fan palm. As if you didn't have enough on your plate.

Excellent piece Oh BuzzMaster, I Knew you had it in you! Sunsets are coming along beautifully too. :) :) :)

In me, yes. Getting it out was the tough(fun) part. Can't take credit for the sunsets though. I just point and shoot...

Damn that looks good! Now you'll have to do ALL of them. [buzzy says :o ] :wink:

Is that just stain, or burned and stain?

I noticed that if I didn't sand it well, the stain got much darker on this wood. What I did was leave certain areas rough or less sanded to create the differences in tone. You guys can see how I do it on the Director's Cut version of the Buzzmaster DVD. $39.95
