I took the leftover piece of wood I cut off the ring and I started another small guy last night:

I have a little more sanding to do, and then the very fine details and decorations

For size reference:

Babalu: That rabittiki is long, long gone by now. I think that was the first carving I did that actually left my possession. I was making a second one when the chainsaw slapped me in the face. After that, I considered the carving to be jinxed and I quickly discarded it. I foolishly carved that first one with a dremel tool (didn't have any chisels yet) and it took me about 4 days. Based upon the advancement of my skills and looking at the depth and quality of carving on the rabbittiki, I think I can make one now in about an hour, maybe less. However, I now pass the rabbitiki making torch on to you...(I think I was just borrowing it from you, anyway)
And Kiva sends her best to you and says she keeps hearing people talking about how cool the glaze is on the BOP's. She said it looks like a bird she once chased in Mexico, and it brings back happy memories of when she could walk in a straight line, and run without falling. Good times indeed!

LOL: Mugs Bunny! Yes! Babalu, are you still reading...
(hint, hint)

The weather is sunny and the forcast calls for some more kicking ass today!
Buzzy Out!
