Many thanks seeks!

Sorry I missed you... I've been doing real world work for a couple weeks. :(

Gotta pay the bills!

But back to tiki!

With outside temperatures finally between 40 and 60 the next few days I am going to get out in the driveway and wrestle around with a big chunk of tree I have had since last summer...

Middle of this Page

It has been in storage all winter and is getting in the way.

I swear the thing still weighs in at 400 lbs. I'm hoping it loses a good chunk of that in carving and drying.

Time to get it carved and stood up in the yard with the other guys!

The drawknife and chainsaw are sharpened up, the grinder is ready to go and I hope to have this thing tapered and sanded smooth by Sunday night.

Monday looks like a surf day finally, so by Tuesday I should have the log drawn out and ready to carve!

Updates to come...
