Buzzy's work: Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate - Tiki Carving

To make up for it, here are some pictures from a movie I was watching that had some tikis in it: Here is a shot of the teacher/writer and a student he was sleeping with and a tiki in the background The teacher had writer's block so he was sleeping with two of his students to snap out of it. There's another tiki: The two students he was doing were roomates and they lived in this apartment building I forgot what the movie was called. Tiki update: I was able to do a little wood work today. I started by crafting a fin for my mini surfboard. I used a mounted belt sander with an extra spinning disc sander to do it from what was originally a square piece. Then I cut a box to hold it on the board: It's wafer thin Looking at it from this angle, the fin looks a little large: I think I'll leave it as is though. It will noseride better with the fin like that. At least the rocker looks good from that angle. I started to do a bunch of wood burned patterns on the tikis, but they didn;t that look good. the grain makes it real hard to do details that small on the palm, and the end results didn't look right. I had to sand the new burnings off and then redo the original outlines. from there, I decided the best option was to just stain it. Anyone who surfs knows that red boards go faster than boards of any other color. With that in mind, I stained the bottom of the board red: Bulit for speed! I still want to burn a mock logo on the back somewhere I did a burned line around the edge of the board and did the red to there. then I did the tikis in a different shade of brown On 2010-06-25 03:56, HOUSE OF KU wrote: Yo Buzzy!
