I almost missed it yesterday:

Today:

It's time to work on the big drum again. Last time I worked on it, I pulled a stomach muscle and had to take a few weeks off of carving. I survived my warmup carving, so it's get 'er done time.

I got the stencils made for the legs this afternoon:

Front, sides, they're all there and ready:

I have to sharpen all my chisels before I do anything on it. that should take about half a day...they're in horrible shape.

Buzz, have you done an Andres Bumatay slice of pie style tiki? Got any pics?
