We've had nothing but clouds and and a little rain lately. It was finally sunny today, therefore, we have sunset photos today:

Since it was a warm and sunny day, I took advantage of it and stated carving a Marq inspired totem.
Here it is pretty much all drawn out.

Top full body guy

Bottom face guy.

Started by carving some on the bottom guy

Then did some on the top guy

A little more done before the sun set

And I did a little more on the chansaw carving

Freddie: Those discs are 1.5 and two inches diameter. I keep forgetting to get some cheap abalone shells from the swap meet.

Maui: I usually wait a couple months. The ones I'm working on now are only about a month old and they mildew a lot and are super heavy. I've carved some and had water splash out at me and carved others that were completely dry. I prefer them in the 3-6 month range. Strip them immediately, that will help them dry faster.

Harro: Thanks! The spoon is appropriate for ALL occasions...

On another note, very once in a while a product comes on the market that I think other House of Buzz fans will find to be of particular Tiki merit. Here is one such item:

House of Ku'z Coco Joe's Mug
I declare that mug to be the official Tiki Guy Dringing Vessel for 2007. If you want to be a True Tiki Guy, as opposed to a poser party city Parrothead tiki person, you will have to own one of these mugs, along with one of my bling pendants. It's like a mandatory thing.

Buzzy Out!
