Now I need to start the drum heads Crappy light picture for now I finished carving this guy's arms today: He's pretty much finshed now. I just need to let him sit and dry for a while. He's about 14 lbs right now. I expect him to weigh in under about 9 lbs by the time he's ready to be sanded and stained.

A couple sunsets from when it wasn't raining

1.25" first storm, .85 from this storm so far.

Only two or three more days of rain.

I have these guys all finished up. Now I need to start the drum heads

Crappy light picture for now

I finished carving this guy's arms today:

He's pretty much finshed now. I just need to let him sit and dry for a while. He's about 14 lbs right now. I expect him to weigh in under about 9 lbs by the time he's ready to be sanded and stained.

No. Not quite yet. I still have a little hand problem and also have to build up my stamina. I can only do about half the time I used to and I haven't tried anything big yet. At least I can put some work time in now.

I don't know what those are. My carving's more or less based on a cocojoes which is more or less based on this one:
