MDM I worked hard for that pile of shavings, thanks for noticing. Here is the almost complete Tikiskip sign. Next will be figuring out how to ship. I'm no chemist but I thought that spar varnish was anti-water, but when I could not find my usual brand I decided to give this a try. Upon opening I could immediately see it was a milky looking water based product but since I knew the sign would not be used outside for any length of time used it anyway. Turned out to be good, more like poly than varnish but provided a nice waxy after carve and finish. Also worked on the base for "La Tsunami"
