I believe that today is day number 19 in the number of days contest. Will Robin continue the losing streak? Tune in tomorrow...

Yesterdays sunset:

Today's sunset:


Getting close. Not close enough for Harro. :(

On to tiki related news:
I started another four knuckle bling ring last night. Here it is drawn out, just prior to carving. Each square is one quarter inch:

The back was all drawn out too:

I like to leave a handle to hold on to when I work on smaller pieces. In this case, it's about two feet long. Plenty of wood to get a good grip on. And, the tiki in the background says "Hi."

After a little carving;

After more carving;

Here it is now after a little bit of sanding:

It's just about ready to come off the log

I still have to detail it and carve out the ring part.

Not the Grass!!!

Technically, it wasn't grass any more: It was chaparral.

Robin and Harro: Good luck tomorrow! And sorry...

Will you let the cedar darken in the sun for a while before putting a finish on it?

It's getting darker by the hour...Looks different already since that post. I was originally going to char it, but changed my mind and wanted to stain it with golden oak, but now I think I'll let it set and clear coat it. It's getting a real nice red tone to the darker grain.

Have I won anything yet? Where is my chocolate brass knuckle tiki mug pendant keychain? Why have I not seen the House of Buzz up lately? Who in the hell mows their lawn at a time like this? Where are my pants?

What have YOU been up to? Hibernating for the winter?I was wondering if we needed to send out a search party. Answering your questions: No, but we (you included)are all winners in life. In production-You can still prepay for it though. Lost the camera when I cleaned my house a couple weeks ago-Damn clean house! I didn't mow the lawn-I created a fire buffer zone between the fence and my house. No more burn danger! And finally, I forgot.

Currently waiting for rain to water my lawn...
