Yesterday' sunset:

It rained a little yesterday...

so, I didn't get much work done yesterday because, as you can see, the sudden downpour soaked my work area:

I spent the day cuddled up next to the fire, wrapped in a warm blanket, watching the rain out my window and sketching up the idea for Big Maori Guy #2. Here is what I'll attempt:

Drawing is to scale, each dash is one foot on the log. I did a grid on the log and will transfer the drawing on to graph paper, and then I will know to the half inch where everything will lay out on the log. I'll do that after a road trip...

to deliver the finished table and chair set.

:up: I like that picture of the set in stealth mode. Yo0u happen upon this scene and yo0u think that you have come upon two tikis playing a drum...

Then they turn and it's not drum, it's part of a lovely tiki patio set:

Some details shots of the drum table:


I caught myself instinctively reaching to play it a couple times as I walked by it. Looked like a drum to me.

Non tiki face panels:


First chair:


Second chair:


I also finally got around to taking final pictures of this guy that I finished a while ago. He's going to a new home tonight:

Thanks BD! I'm really going to have to try and salvage a couple more pieces of this stuff QUICK! I keep hearing the uncarved pieces pop away...
