Morning Benz....Glad your starting to feel better man! Keep drinking that Florida Orange!

Thanks for the props on this guy...he still has a long way to go yet. I have plans for many more of those little details you mention. The Babalu Babes brought me a 4 piece knife set, and a small palm set for my birthday...I'm very anxious to put these new tools to the test. I wanted to start off taking the face down on it, and popping the eyes in first...for some reason, it makes the whole thing easier for me to work on after the eyes have been roughed in. Will try to make some head way on the scull and hands this weekend....Babe no.3 said, "he is starting to look like the Cat in the Hat gone over to the Darkside". :-)

Thanks Benella...this fellow was somewhat influanced by this stone carving that I stumbled across while walking around in a blur on the streets Amsterdam last year....in your neck of the woods.

Cammo...will do man...I’ll save some of him for the next Chop. I’ve been switch hitting with chisels and power tools on this guy. I don't think I've evolved from anything...more the opposite...coming from kind of a metal back ground, I am comfortable with grinders. It’s my new chisels that I need much more practice with.
Below is the Babalu arsenal to date...that orange $45. Harbor Freight dye grinder is a fun tool to play with. Hope I don’t have to wait until my next birthday for one of the Babes to buy Daddy a chain saw.

Peace.
