OK so I've taken some progress shots of some things I have started. I've decided that I have way too many things going at once. First I'll start with an update on the Surf Ku. Feature are finished, needs to be sanded and some finish cuts - it will done soon. Most of the cuts were done with the hook knife.

While carving the Ku, I was inspired to start another one. This time out of a piece of Mahogany that I got at the Carving Jam. When I get farther along on this I will post something that gives it some scale. I have some interesting ideas for finishing this one.

Here is the big log that I started a while back. Its something to chop on when the feeling is right. A new set of chisels is calling to finish this guy up. I was really disappointed that the log checked - my fault - it was stored next to the door and had some moisture get to it. It cracked while I was carving on it. I watched as the crack expended.

Next is the remnant from the big hairball I just did. Quick carve with the chainsaw and grinder. This palm was just terrible to carve after I've been doing all the hardwood carving! I may do more palms, but not from the source I have now. He just needs a couple coats of poly.
