Yesterday's sunset:

Before I get on with the usual order of business, I'd like to introduce a new cast member over here at the House of Buzz, my new dog:

I got her on Thursday. I still haven't named her yet. I can't decide between "Tiki Dog" or "Pepsi." Or maybe I'll name her after some defunct tiki bar's signature drink, if I don't name her after the tiki bar itself

She got right in to the routine around here:

She doesn't seem to mind the mess either.

We hung outside yesterday and got some work done:

And now on to the carving update...

The face got fixed up a bit here and there:

Then I rounded off the shoulders:

Next I started on the headress pattern. Since these are all diagonal to the grain of the wood, I used all super sharp flat chisels to do it.

Center part done, moving left

The dog gets comfy while I labor on:

Headress done, now all I have to do is the shoulders:

Side view:

Rear view of it mostly hollowed out:

Rear view of the rear:

Even though it's a wall hanger and it will never be seen, I couldn;t resist carving it in while I was back there.

All I have left on it now are the arms.

I also need to get a haircut and name my new dog. Busy day.
Buzzy Out!
