Carve Tiki Bobs out of that dead branch tree.

Just sayin'

I felt a little wound up this late evening, like I wouldn't be able to sleep right away if I went to bed, so I made the most of my time and gave the Tiki Bob Log you suggested a shot:

Mine,compared to the original from the collection of Humuhumu:

I had to leave the nose bark a little thicker than the original because a thinner strand of bark wouldn;t hold on this piece for very long. The mouth looks a little thick on mine too, now that I see the picture of it. I'll fix that tomorrow. I have to go channel surf for the Girls Gone wild infomercial right now. I think it starts at 2am.

If I ever join Ooga Mooga, I'm going to put the Tiki bob on my wishlist and then never follow through on getting one.

Living about nine feet from the Rose canyon fault line, I don't think it would be smart in the long run to start a mug collection. they cost to much now and everybody has a whole bunch of them already anyhow.

Log Bob Tiki in better light:

When I was rookie carver, probably way back in about June of '06, I gave a log to someone who contacted me through TC about learning how to carve. A few days after I gave him the log, he told me that he had made his first tiki out of it. I asked what kind of tiki it was and he said with a big smile, "I made a Tiki-Bob." He waited for my nod of approval, but I had absolutely no idea what the f^(# a Tiki-Bob was. He showed it to me and I still wondered what the hell it was...

I want to sleep right now and stay that way until 11am tomorrow.
Buzzy Out!
