Sunset:

Sun's in that prime bay in the view position now

Three donkeys on the side of the road in Mexico:

Ole!

I got the third cannibal all sanded up:

I missed a picture of the next step, but they were all dark like the guy on the right:

After a little more cleanup and some tone adjustment, I got them where I wanted. This picture has them looking a bit lighter than they actually are:

I like the rugged and dirty look of these. Cannibals shouldn't be pretty. I was going for a dirty and oily telephone pole look, and i got pretty close. Some finishing oil and these guys are out of here

Sanding, sanding, sanding...I finally hit that point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on this one:

Major sanding now all done, finish sanding to go...

Questions, two for Tuesday edition:

Draw knife on those new logs?? What happened to the electric planer?

I use both. When the draw knife works, it's faster than the planer for that first cleaning step. I use the planer after the drawknife on the last 1/8" or so to get it all nice and clean.

I imagine the amount of time of you spend on these has been going waaaaay up?

It's not the time that I have been working on it that's so much longer, but the time in between when I;ve been working on it that's been so long. It's probably just a bit of time over what I spent on the Caliente drum.

Buzzy Out!
