I can't tell if this was sunset today, but I took the picture around the time that the sun usually sets:

I spent the evening last night watching all the episodes of the last season of Entourage and carving out the three drum legs. They're all to this point now:

The eyes, chin, and headress details will be carved right after I do the bell.

Blurry picture, sorry. I must have caught "the shakes" by that point last night

I wanted to relax a little after the high stress drum carving session yesterday so I started on the first cannibal guy today:

I plan on spending my evening working on it.

Buzz, will this drum have a bottom vent? Maybe you'll do that after the legs are done?

Nope...I did that last July. Here's a flashback from that happy time:

... I set my goal to get all the way through on the drum:

The happiest moment of all is when I see that daylight shining through it. Hooray! After this step, it's all easy going until it's done:

That's a 42" tunnel.

I'd take a picture of how I snuggled it between the legs, but I don;t want to hurt my back moving it. It was a pain to get it on the table! It's still top heavy until after I carve the bell. I left an extra inch inside of it for support while I carve the outside of it. It will be a reasonable weight after I hollow it out the final time.

I hope there's something good on tv tonight.
Buzzy Out!
