Yesterday's sunset

Today's merge into dark

Tiki updates:

I warmed up yesterday by stripping a couple new logs. Here is the big one I didn't cut a piece off of:

Then I took the perfect sized chunk from the base of the other log for my next project

Those layout marks mean Peace Out! I mean, take this piece out:

It got dark soon after I did the layout on the log, so I came inside and warmed up by doing another quick pendant on the "Tiki-on-a-stick-on-a-rope.":

one more to go:

Then chopchopchop, off came three Trader joes paper bags full of chips last night

Here is the rough layout today, after a little exterior sanding:

Then I hollowed it out and did some more shaping:


I'm going to try and get all the rough blocking out done on it tonight and then let it set for a couple days while I finish the carving the Ku and (finally) the Lono.

Buzzy, what kind of music was Guitar Guy playing?
"Tiki-on-a-stick-on-a-rope." :lol:

set list includes: girl from impanema, Michelle, a bunch of Simon and Garfunkel, a couple rolling stones and a bunch of finger picked renditions of songs that you say to yourself as you listen: I kinda recognize that, but can't figure out what hell it is! My favorite thing about him is that folding footrest thing he uses. :)
"Tiki-on-a-stick-on-a-rope." You didn't happen to trademark that phrase, did you?

Buzzy's becoming the local carver, the guy people talk about when they go back to Wisconsin!

I've been given the key to the city of Sheboygan, and all the rights and privileges that come along with that honor! Wisconsin Rocks! Go Brett Favre!

Your tikis are looking pretty Bad-assed here recently Buzz

I think I'm staring to get a handle on some of the simpler aspects of this carving thing now. Now to tackle the hard stuff...

I need a Pepsi, STAT!
Buzzy Out!
