Today's sunset:

I took a break from working on big heavy stuff today because I was tired and I grabbed a piece of basswood and hacked into it to relax

First I drew a little 6" maori guy on a 2"w x 1.5"d basswood block and carved out the outline

It looked a little thick, so I cut the wood down the center, making two 3/4" slices

Since I already had the outline carved, I decided to do a mirror image of the original design on the back and carve both

After a little more progress

I was doing both of them simultaneously, but then I started concentrating on just one

I'll have to do the backs of them after I cut them of the stock piece

I watched some crappy tv while I worked and I got pretty far on the first guy tonight. Here he is now:



And soon, he'll have a twin.

Buzzy Out!
