Duddy- Thanks man.

Pablus - Thanks

JP - Hi! I dunno what his surface carving will look like. A lot will depend on what I see as I am sanding him.

Surfin' - I don't know about stunning......this log was in really rough shape. I'll be happy just to finish him out ok.

tikifreak - Happy 4th to you too. It's been a while aye? Thanks for stopping by.

Benella - Thanks. Hope you have been well.

Benno - I guess this long break wasn't what you meant by "pace yourself"? Sorry.

Conga - Hey Chief! Actually, it is a nasty chunk of wood but I am learning a from it.

Babalu - Me make it look easy? I don't think so brother. This log is working me over.

Seeks - Don't die man! We need you here creating your killer masterpieces.

Tikigap - "I'm thinkin' that it carves nicely." Nope, this particular chunk is chippy and unforgiving.

Brad - Thanks for stopping by. Here is an update on the teko.......

After seeing how long it has been since I carved (and hearing about from Benzo and Tfreak) I went out and worked on the teko this morning. My office was closed because of Fay, so I had nothing planned. It was a good excuse to go out and make chips. I did a little chipping and then broke out the Sanding Maul (thanks Babalu!) for a heavy sanding. He still needs a lot more sanding before I plan the rest of him, but he is on his way......
