The two drum looking tables are finished now!

First one:

For the three panels above the tiki legs, I did random abstract patterns

In the three panels in between, I tried to make the patterns mimic tiki faces.
Eyebrows square teeth guy:

Oval mouth wide nose guy:

Big ears small eye guy:

The second drum table:

Three tiki face panels like this between the legs

Abstracts for the rest:

The tables in their new home:

In other tragic tiki news: The stupid mold material stuck to my stupid pendants so I had to scrape off all the mess and now have to refinish and remold the stupid things.

On to other stuff:

Hey, Thanks TheBigT. Buzzy The mini Maori Bros. pendents are looking sooo Sweeet!

I think all those damn Brady Idols must have cursed my molds! Or maybe it was all the lava in my cocojoes collection...
Whatever it was, they dont look so sweet now! :(

Iz the tiki still on your island? We want photographic proof!

I drove by early one morning and I could see the tiki out there on the island. Then, about three hours later, I was working in the factory and just happened to glance down at the island and it looked a little "off." I grabbed my telescope and the tiki was no where to be seen. Oh well. All I have to say is this: Enjoy the cursed tiki, basturd who liberated it!

Tiki Island will live again! I promise!

We thought the seagull was going to protect it, but he chickened out.

The Department of Fish and Game took the tiki because they thought he killed the bird. It was just a flying cockroach, anyway. I don't see the big deal...

That doesn't surprise me. My money was on it being swiped within 3 days of placement. I know it would not have lasted that long here! Next time set up some bear traps in the sand around it.

We're going to do something like that next time, that's for sure! It disappeared after a really nice weather weekend with a lot of events over on the closest beach to it. It lasted a lot longer than I thought it would, but it was still short lived. I'm thinking of taking about 100 Brady Bunch idols and throwing them all over the sand and lagoon out there. People would be digging those up for months!

Saw the fake Drum the other day and it's freakin awesome!

The other Big Guy too!

Should be good next weekend.

EVERYTHING looked great over there and it was an ARRRRSOME weekend! I had a blast! We should do something like that again. :wink: SOON!

What can I say? Excellent drums Buzz, I think you have this process down pat!

These drum things are getting pretty routine for me now so I think I'm going to do my next one blind folded, just to keep things challenging and fresh.

to add on to bills question are you carving it for the tikiyaki orchestra?

Yes I am. Join the club now!

Awesome carve on that standup drum. How tall is it?

It's a little over 36" tall.

Today, I shall work exclusively on the drum, and continue on it until I am done.

This weekend officially opens tiki season (in my mind, at least). Enjoy it while it lasts!
Buzzy Out!
