Today's sunset:

It's almost to the part where we'll see the bay water in the shots

warm one again today

After messing around for a couple days on the cane, it's time to get serious and get back to work. today was reserved for the third cannibal, The Eater.
It was here at the start of the day

First I notched in the ear tops to establish the head width

More of the ear is revealed as the temples are carved in

The little tiki is marked here to help me see the piece as a whole

Cleaning the sides of the heads to the top of the arms:

Head width established and the little guy's body blockedin

Sunset, and I had this much done:

the mouth opening is started

It's really ugly right there. good thing I don;t think it;s finished yet

Everything getting cleaned up a bit with one knee started

Both knees done now, arms cleaned, and one side of torso started

Other side of torso done

It's getting there:

no more for today...

I've hacked up a little ficus myself, I think it's a beautiful wood

I agree. Here are some pieces I did out of ficus in the past:


(the 5 smallest ones are basswood)

BUZZY, Thats Totally Funny and the name too, '"Wang Tang", Only from the sick Mind of the Buzz Master!

Yeah, calling it "Tiki # 189" just doesn't roll off the tongue as well...

I hope all the mosquitoes that got me last night are full.
Buzzy Out!
