First of all, I want to thank all of you for the birthday well wishes! You guys here on the House of Buzz thread mean a whole lot to me. This silly thing here gets me out of bed every day and keeps me going,... and going. Thanks for making it a great time and giving me all the support!

That damn Oasis journal is taking forever and the event hasn't even started yet on that timline. I guess I'm working on Bowana time now.

This brief interlude will catch all of you up on the current happenings over here. I'll be back to the journal right after I comment on your comments. So keep watching, there's still a lot of ground to cover and I just got back into work mode on Wednesday...

A recent sunset to get us back into the present narrative:

Seems like people like the drum. Maybe I should make more?

Drum #2

fine piece of wood. this is the other half of the log that the first drum came out of. It will be the same style as the first, but now I know which parts I need to do better and I also plan on spending more time on the upper design area.

This will be drum #3:

this one came to me in a vision. Drastically different than the first two, it will be. Hope I can pull it off. I think I'll get to this in October.

The drums will be sandwiched between this project here that I started on Tuesday:
I think I can fit what i want to do on both of these. One will definitely work:

These three are bigger than I need and perfect:

They're a little big to be drug into the house to work on yet, and there is a lot of chainsaw roughing on them first, so these are my day job, and the drums are my evening job for the next few days. Once I get the first few roughed, they will be my night job, and roughing out the next few will be my day job. And the drums will wait...

Yesterday I went down to the hotel again. I didn't take my camera because I couldn't find it so no pictures. I did a couple pendants while I was there. They were a pendant on a stick with a rope but they broke off.

After the hotel gig, I worked on another project for the evening over at Babalu's studio.

Here I am, a proud papa with my first completed mug! Better pictures on Babalu's thread, as well as LLT's mug and Babalu's new work.

I'll be back soon to catch up on correspondence and continue on with the journal.
Buzzy Out!
