I tried my fisheye lens feature for tonight's sunset:

Now that's some digital art!

Aside from being a digital artist, I'm also a man of the regular arts, a man of science, as well as a man of leisure. My last post was an expression from the science side of me. Now here's one from the regular arts side of me:

Today was get 'er done day. So I started by getting all the details carved and done on the second post. Top tiki done:

Five hours later, Bam! I'm done with the rest of it:

I had to adjourn for a few hours due to heat, but around dusk I had it all finish sanded and stained:

that completes the set:

Next, the installation part...I'm thinking i might need another piece for it as well.

But first, I have another tiki to carve for another part of the property. It will be a quicker one, and hopefully nothing will come up and I;ll be able`to start it tomorrow.

As you may have seen last week, I could barely get anything done because my work area was always in this state:

something had to be done...

I got a compresser and nail gun, so I practiced with it and took some leftover warped and split wood from BambooBen's last project and "freehanded" a shelf. I piled all my extra crap on it, and as a result I gained some valuable floor work space:

I have all kinds of room now! I moved the carpet so it's more like carving at home sweet home. Home sweet home with the furnace stuck on for a month, that is...

Best part of it is my new stereo shelf/tool holder. Mama dove doesn't seem to mind being so close to the tunes either:

In other news, one owl looked like this the other morning:

And, my dog learned how to swin across the lake last Monday!

She's a full on lake dog now! She even taught Ringo how to swim.

Do you put something on your tikis to protect/prolong them since they are sitting outside?

No moisture here to mess them...Log's already dry. So, yes I do, but no, I'm not right now...

Nice work as always, Buzzy!

Thanks kahaka. Glad to finally get 'em done. All it took in the end was a get 'er done day...

Doves are just fancy pigeons. I would eat them before the toads.
PS Nice work

I'd have dove before toads too, but around here, it's always RABBIT SEASON:

Babalu: Poki says she's sorry...

Now to engage the leisure side of myself!
Buzzy Out!
