Oh great, I'm now poster boy for carving slacker! "Don't get like Swanky and not carve for a year." Great :wink:

Yes, this is the one from September 2005. Summer of 2006 I gardened instead.

I already have a couple of pieces of basswood for my next project, which will be the Donn Beach cannibal trio. A small version. I consider them the "gods of the mixologist." I also have a sister cherry log to this one which will become Kane to have the duo from the City of Refuge. I can have them sort of buried up to their shoulders, Easter Island style...

I have an update on this one, but no time to take a picture since last weekend.

I have the stuff set up on the lanai so that I can grab a chisel and carve without much prep. I hope to get at it regularly for the rest of the summer at least. And a nice shed indoors to work in winter. I will get him done. I didn't wear out myself and build these muscles in my arms, back, shoulder and hands over the weekend for nothing!
