Yesterday's sunset:

Today's:

I was just about to get to carving on Friday when a stupid bee stung me on the hand. It swelled up a lot so I took a rest until saturday morning. Then I went out to the shop and made another larger fish club:

This style was used on larger fish, like the bullfish, which were very prevalent in the rivers there. The pointy parts behind the blade were used to dig into either the gills or jaw to help drag the heavy fish to shore

Here are the recent clubs, paddles, and fish axes all together:

The second fish axe used the last of my wood in stock, but I still had some leftover irregular pieces that I could burn through. I wanted to make some different sized pairs of Moais out of the scraps:

Cut them all out, and close to end of routin them, I had one mess up that went to the range to get shot up:

Feels good shooting up mistakes. Turns a bad to good. Positive transformation...

By the end of the day, I did manage to finish a Papa, Mama, and baby size set of Maois in this color:

and I did two sets in another color with one little leftover guy:

Todays output:

I think they're about 11, 9, and 7 inches tall.

I've missed a lot, so I should go back a hundred pages and discover your devolution of time.

Yo Jonesey! Stick around for a while. All kinds of mysteries and adventures to uncover and unfold out here. You came back at a good time. Not much new action here before a few weeks ago, so you don't have to back so many pages to catch up.

These clubs with the abstract Martian road kill lobsters on them are the coolest things I've ever seen.

The coolest thing I ever saw was a copy the world's smallest bible. A junior high substitute teacher named Werle Cox would carry it around in his pocket. It was a little clear plastic card with dots on it. Each dot, he would explain, was two pages of the bible, and you needed a microscope to actually read it.
