First it was too cold to do it, now it's too hot! Well here is... what I've done so far this year: Here's me on Pelee in March starting on a real rotten piece of black walnut. Start of the rough-out when the motor on the rotary Merlin burned up, causing a three month delay on the project... It morphed a bit do to more than expected dry rot... It's getting there, almost done... Ahh, a finished #9 Tiki! My next victim, a far less rotty piece of "blonde" black walnut... Double 15 minute cheapy-Tiki in rotten cottonwood just for fun and practice with my new Lancelot grinder...
