Someone must be too busy even for sunset pics... :o

Not quite....
I took this picture of the sunset yesterday, but...

there wasn't enough day left for the update picture.

That was all I had yesterday, so I waited until today to post all that.

And now ,Today's sunset:

Looks like the sky was raining fire

I have the table that looks like a drum all blocked out now:

I made the legs round because I think that tables should have round legs:

I'll let it dry out a few days before I do the all detail carving

In the meantime...

Buzzy, how is the large maori dude doing, any progress pictures?.

I managed to move him back into my work area today. Tomorrow I will do a little more work on the face and start sandinhg him.

I used a set of small log rollers to get him from my driveway to my backyard by myself. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Ever catch a "Green Flash" from your place? The latest sunset looked perfect for one.

I've seen a green flash only three times at sunset. I always heard people talk about them and could never imagine what they were talking about. I finally saw one for the first time right after I moved here. It was totally crazy. Every time I've seen one, I've been wearing sunglasses. I think those help. Usually there's just enough fog and clouds out there that those green flashes don't happen.

. And that way you're training the new peep is cool. I never knew that that's the way Benz would do it? You start the carving on one side and the new guy does the other.

Yeah. Here's the basswood piece that I learned the hookknife from him with.

I never finished the face details on my side. At the time, I wanted to get a little better first, so i did a couple practice pieces. Then the couple pieces turned into a whole bunch and I never got back to it.
