Hey all, past few days didn't do much on #1, didn't like the way it was looking so I performed a "Rhino-plasty" procedure to him, I think it works better than the "Whale-tail" probiscus he had.
before....

during....

and just after....

I think it works better this way, more traditional, less Jimmy Durante! I had to let it sit in the sun for a day to re-think it, and went to work on stripping a few logs down with the draw knife I got on Ebay.

cut that one in 2 stool size pieces

and started stripping another

Of course, my "Mini-me" has been bugging me to get him going on a Tiki of his own, so I started his lesson plan on using a small, cordless Dremel which he did pretty well with, so I gave him a scrap piece of plywood and a few hand chisels and he loved it! Actually had decent technique with the chisels!


So that's it for now, will see a bunch of you at 4WD's place on Saturday!
