Sunset from a couple days ago:

These days, they all look the same...

July Factory update:

The Factory got a little bit cleaner over the weekend:

I finally did the last section of my bamboo fence yesterday. Complete with Buddy Cat secret entry point:

I have to wait until Mops visits again to frame it out so I can make sure he can't squeeze out. He's a skinny runt and just might fit through there...

Now on to Tiki stuff:
I did some more staining on this guy:

Here he is with his buddies after I stained in the dark line details:

One more spar coat on each of these and then they're done:

Speaking of done, here's one more finally finished:

...and this guy was just sanded and stained

I'm going to have the Buzz Master fix up my "knock off" carving hat...

See, these are "custom knockoffs," that means they are like Cammo's hats now, and I cannot sell it to you. Yo0u have to come find me at Oasis, and if it fits comfortably, then you can buy it. If you just want a hat to wear right now, well I have an idea:

But if you funny boys are gettin' all huffy about it and starting a hat knockoff shop based in Tijuana, hey, who's complainin', I'll probably be working fer YOU in two months.

Actually, Babalu was looking to go to the far east for this one. We'd love to have you aboard once it gets going. We think it may work well to do it this way:
You design a top notch primo hat like the Night in New Guinea, and hand it off to me. I'll find a way to cut the materials costs down from about $90+ to about $6, and cut the production time down from two days to about an hour, and then I'll make a prototype of it. After that, I'll pass the cheaper version to Babalu, who will have them made in China for $1.25. When they come back, it will be your job to make the fancy tags and cool names for our finished products. It's a big goldmine just waiting to be dug up...

Nice lid Buzzy. That's all you man.

Read my lips: By next year, I predict all the East Coast carvers will be wearing one too.
And, you can quote me on that, because it's a FACT!

I feel like making some chips and sawdust today...

and after lunch, I think I'll carve some.

Oh,I crack myself up!
Buzzy out!
