Thanks Cy. I have to admit, I feel like I'm gonna have to step it up in the finishing department. that's never been my specialty. so I was dying to see what it looked like inside of one of the sunken logs, and there was one of the ends that broke off when I was cutting them, so I cut the top 8 or 10 inches off to square it off & to have a little piece to dissect & see what lies within. there was a wormhole in this section, and there are some others. but except for that immediate area around the wornholes it's very solid. and there are definitely some interesting colors popping up. it was literally changing colors as I evened the edges off with the grinder. this could get really interesting... So awhile back I got really inspired off of Seefssurf's driftwood tiki. I remember looking at it over and over and thinking "that is just brilliant".....so I've been looking for driftwood logs to make tikis ever since. So now I have 2 6 foot sections of these sunken logs, and another driftwood log I found washed up on one of the spoil islands that is a completely different kind that I haven't cut into yet. I'm stoked to have some completely new wood that actually has the potential to be something kinda special... [ Edited by: pjc5150 2012-07-04 10:13 ] |
