#1 Buzz, what happened to steps 2 and 3 on that janus marq piece??? It goes from a dark stain to light.

#2 How exactly do you transfer the design from the paper to the drum leg?

#3 What kind of truck did you get?

#1 I forgot to show you yesterday...you have to see the piece in person real close to see what happened. It was a test run for this one:

...which I'll be finishing in the next couple days. Now I know what I want to do will work, so I'll give it a shot

#2 Copy machine, ledger paper, razor, scissors, and a pencil:

#3 Log hauler:

I went over to Billy's on Friday and grabbed the 8' log out in front of his house with it. Trial by fire.

Tiki update:

I carved the first leg on the drum a couple nights ago. I'll do the teeth and nostrils after I finish the other two. I don;t want those parts to chip while I'm working on the rest of the log

and, Some pictures of this guy finished:

Also I need another pinup for our Buzzy Bedroom which was viewed by many fans of yours on the last Sacramento Tiki Crawl. Wendy

You can let the fine folks of Sacramento know that I started working on my tan yesterday at the Bamboo Ben Garage sale in preparation for this year's photo.

Thomas and I will be carving around 1pm here on Friday.

I should start a log over there soon and swing by a couple hours now and again and hack it out. we'll smoke some shit too, man. How long does it takes to smoke a cheeseburger in that new smoker thing you got? We should have a chop where Babalu has that hot dog cart going, your smoker, and my deep fat fryer going.

Wow :o, Looking great there Buzzy! (that's what she said) :lol:

Ever use these to transfer patterns?

I find it more accurate to do it one piece at a time like i show up top. Sometimes I have to adjust a line a little here and there while I'm transferring because the log is warped, the pattern shifts, etc. I can catch and fix stuff quicker one piece at a time. Kind of like building a puzzle one piece at a time, the way I do it. I think the holes/marks might get lost in the crappy palm surface also. I'll look for one of those at the swap and see how it works.
