Today's sunset:

I've been working on the new big drum last couple of days. I started by measuring out and rough carving the top part:

After doing a little work on the rim, it was time to start the bottom part. First step was to do a scale drawing of it:

After doing the initial drawing, I do a large scaled version the same size as the log is to make a stencil from:

I do a final tweaking of the drawing and then trace it to make a stencil from it.

Next step is to trace it on both sides of the log:

And after it's traced on:

I'll just follow all the lines with my tools and it will end up as a couple of tikis with a drum on top.

All the work is done now: carving time!
