Today's Sunset:

Happy Holidays!

While I was carving outside today, some old timey planes did a few fly overs:

The weather was just nice enough today to spend some time outside finishing the cannibal:

It's still pretty wet so it will be a while until I sand it.

Before I declared myself "finished," BuddyCat gave it a thorough looking over before giving it his stomp of approval:

It's a pain in the butt to download pictures the last few days so here's a quick update on what was going on around the factory:

There was a storm coming so I had to get ready for a weekend of rain.
Just a hint of a storm on the horizon:

The rain came but wasn't bad enough to require FEMA assistance, this time. I'm still waiting for my relief check for my ripped tarp. Damn government red tape!

Since it was cold and rainy, I moved operations into the "workshop" and did some rainy day activities.
I started by doctoring up a bunch of bamboo poles:

Then I made a sample stock tikibar sign with my newly enhanced bamboo:

And with some scrap I had left over, I made a couple of sample custom sign blanks:

Order yours today!

In other factory news, I took out my old fence the last couple of days and will be replacing it with some 8' x 8' x 2" bamboo panels tomorrow(and the next day...)
Here it is just before the final stages of dismantling:

Bye bye fence, hello bamboo!
