Checking back in... I'm finally all caught up after a rush of Christmas orders. Some fun new stuff to show as soon as I get pictures of it.

tok-tok, thanks! The resin is a challenge for me still. I thought I had it figured out but it really wants to keep leveling itself. The surface you pour on has to be completely level. The tiki had a slight lean so there was a little overflow, but fairly easy to deal with.

The pattern you see comes from the natural Yellow Pine grain. Smooth sanding and a little torch work pops it a bit more. The stain is an Early American color.
Satin brush poly with some satin spray over it to reduce the glare. Most customers want the poly coating, though I am steering some towards oil.

Diving into my love for the Kona Style, I finally finished this Ku wallhanging that I started back in June. It got lost along the way and I decided to pick it up again.
A very hard piece of premium board, so everything took a few passes to get to the right depth. 16" tall. It is over in the Marketplace up for sale.
