I sure hope you shot last nights sunset? It was one of those stop everything sit down moments for sure.

Yep. I got it...



One to remember.

Much better than today:

and the day before yesterday:

After I got the outside all cleaned up, I cleaned the garage work area substantially. I took the finished pieces in and am now in the final stages.

Meanwhile, I got this guy sanded and stained:

I was trying for a rounder look on this one. some times I think my stuff looks a little too linear.

I also got a log piece ready to go for a warm up carve:

I haven't done in carving yet because I'm still kind of messed up from cleaning up last week. I should be able to start tomorrow. The docs told me take it easier than I have been, and i told them I haven't actually done anything yet; so far as carving is concerned.

And Oasis is only 8 1/2 months away...

that's only enough time to do about 30-35 pieces. I better get on it.

Some great carving, esp the tiki on the left, the symetrical precision is very Bowanaesque!

I'm going for Bowana quality in a fraction of the time

Interesting hanger arrangement, anchored below center, hmmm.

A little above center. I put it where it's thickest, where the tiki's head is on the other side. The holes are on the bottom of the indent so it sits flush to the wall. The nail and wire will be in the recess:

Is the wire included with the plaque or sold separately? :P

Comes with it. I'm even going to throw in a nail. Some tools and assembly required, however...

Buzz, great tutorial. I bow down to the drum master! And you cleaned?! :o

I filled up 2/3 of a dumpster. I had to have someone come haul it all away

Its crazy - I've had to wear long pants every day this week!!!

Wow! I must be serious when the long pants come out! It's still real nice here. A little cloudy yesterday, but still warm.

I'm getting closer, but I think I still have stuff to answer from page 220...
Buzzy Out!
