All we need is one clear day of the sun hitting the horizon

Aww Crap! It's supposed to be clear this week. Stay tuned!

I started a new little stand up ring last Friday. Here are some in progress shots:

Gathering the tools and materials phase:

Drawing phase:

Rough out carving and removing it from stock piece phase:

Initial sanding and detail preparation phase:

I made some mold boxes and am preparing to do some resin castings of some of my recent smaller pieces

I had to make these type of boxes for two rings. I'll seal them off with next and will have molds without the rings.

It's got so much "old" character. How did you do it?! No, really! :)

A combination of sanding and wiping away the stain to create the high and lowlights. I used red oak stain.

Buzzy, when you brought this guy yo the chop, I thought it was a real Hawaiian swap-meet find.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my work! Thanks Billy! Someday I actually hope to see one of my pieces at the swap meet. After I'd inquire about the price, I'd yell at the seller about it being too high, and say it looks like it was carved by some haole kook! Then I'd go have lunch at the snack bar...Ummmm! Chili fries!

Ug! this post took forever! I need to go back to doing hourly updates...
Buzzy Out!
