I spent a lot last week surfing which is rair for South Florida. Mostly choppy wind blown crap but it got me in the water. And unlike my northern TC brethren the air was in the 80s and the water is the mid 70s - beautiful. Well I promised some wood stuff so here goes.

This is a tiki that I'm not happy with. Carved in Cypress and stained with Dark Walnut. Bad choice. The Darks are too dark and the lights are too light. Oh well, there's no changing it now. Let me know what you think.

Next is another chunk of cypress finished with a different stain. A blend of several cans, so I will never be able to get this color again. It kind of has a green tint to it. Started carving but never had a plan and this guy just kind of emerged.

I've got a couple of pens that are almost finished as well but they need a few more coats. I should have those to show this weekend.
