Been working through some issues, but figured it was time to get off my butt and carve. Maybe someone will recognize this carving, as I was inspired by some pics I saw somewhere(wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Here are some progress pics: (pine log from woods in Colorado. Log cut last spring, been laying around in my backyard since then sketched on main image. Notice no cracks in log (YET) start hackin' boxey butt! getting close from the side (notice log cracking) 1st coat stain, english chestnut finished! front side back Posing in front of my bar. Warding off evil spirits, and tea toddlers. This was pretty fun to do. For sure it's the biggest one I have done to date. Used lancelot tool on my angle grinder, also used burrs on a die grinder. Used some el-cheapo chisels to help in the wierd spots. "In the dark, mysterious, pagan womb of the tiki bar, Organizational Man could escape the spectre of the A-bomb and the 30-year mortgage."
