If yesterday was the longest day of the year, then it's all downhill until next spring. Post longest day of the year dusk shot:

With summer, comes an update for those of you who were wondering what's up at the factory these days.
Last month, the Tiki production division realized record sales. The month of June started with a frenzy of production activity to build up stock.

I had spent the winter holed up inside, working away on small stuff, researching traditional oceanic arts. With the days warm and long, a ready supply of logs, I embarked upon a mid century poly pop focus of larger scale.
Here's some works that reflect that focus in various stages of production:

Inspired by the "x" mug

Inspired by the peanut mug

Inspired by the Beachcomber and polynesian village menu tiki

Salt shaker Maori:

Stretched out version of a mug that I forgot what it was called

Buzzatay:

Mainlander:

Angular stirrer stick tiki:

Two more six footers to get rid of less than perfect logs:

That takes care of the carving stuff.

Not to be outdone, the custom sign department met and exceeded its sales target for the month:

And, the bamboo enhancment production team has been pitching in too:

One more order awaiting delivery

It's been a very productive month. More to come...

Buzzy Out!
