yeah, I did pretty good today. I found a full-on sunken log. It's waaay heavy. I muscled it out of the water as best I could with 3 other dudes plus a girl, and was able to get it out enough to saw it up. Got 2 lengths, about 6 ft each, and then my saw ran out of gas. Been under for enough time that it didn't float! there's even barnacles on part of it. Real hard inside though...and it looks like there's some different colors and it as a really interesting exterior...I'm wondering if it's pine. Either way I'm gonna do some really cool deep relief-carved tikis out of 'em so there's plenty of tiki but also plenty of the original "texture" of the exterior. Should be pretty interesting. I also found a root canopy that's going to be a neat glass-top table with a little massaging. and I think I may have found another piece that I'm pretty sure is going to be the new octopus.... so yeah, it was a successful run! I love driftwood. |
