Today's sunset:

Looks like all the rain has passed.

Last night, I continued on with the new split log tiki.

When I last posted, I had just done the outline of the head. Now notches are done above the ears

I put a blue cloth up for a better picture here. Bottom head profile done and the neck drawn out

face drawn on and the neck and chest are initialy carved on

Arms started, and more done on the upper chest and shoulder area:

more done on the neck, the hands are roughed in, and the arms are carved more


Stuff taken off the back to enhance the profile of it

A little refining here and there to end the sunlight portion of my workday


Working on the head/face is next. after that, just the fingers.

Poki update:

After resting all day yesterday, Poki was back up to speed today. She hung out in the sun and played while I worked. Here she is getting a last look at the sun for the day:

Loving the new carve Buzz, some amazing physics going on with all that weight on the top and a skinny middle.

I hope the feet are heavy enough to anchor it. Seems to be pretty stable. It's suprisingly light, however. I thkink it's only about 6.5 inches diameter. It was hard to fit all that empty space in that small of a log. That's the challenge, and that's what keeps it fun. Stay warm!

Break time!
Buzzy Out!
