I cut da monkeypod into a natural(sp?)looking shape. Monkey pod is da wood dat allll those little wooden bowls you see at da thrift stoa fo wun dolla or da kine... big fork and spoon set. you can kinda see da carved honu(turtle) on each side of da bar top. Da couple requested 2 turtles carved on top. I just did a basic outline fo dem as dats all dey wanted. look at da grain of da wood though....cheeeery ya! almost looks like Koa. small part of my mug collection from da local antique stoa they gave me a pic of a tiki they already have and asked me to make a stool out of it's face. So, here it is. breakin in da new bar. dats my beer, Hinano of Tahiti, Okole Maluna! Mo carvings later. Happy Hollidays peopo! shootz [ Edited by: gecko on 2003-12-12 19:56 ]
