ROCK ON Buzzy, do you Ever Slow down?

Yeah. This last week or so I got real sick and I've had take it easy a bit. But before then, I was still going full steam ahead...

From where I left off last update post:

I finished the Moai special request

Here's the only picture I have of it with finish:

I made a lot of these cocojoes ripoffs too:

I like cocojoes so much, I became cocojoes! Well, at least the scummy pirate ripoff version of cocojoes.

A lot more router work done as well. Most of it for the International Tiki Marketplace. Here's some random stuff I had for the September gathering, some old, some new:

I had so much fun doing the special request Moai, that I carved another just like it for the Don's show a couple weeks back

Since I didn't suffer any ill effects by accepting a commission for the first time since 2010, I did another one for a handful of small Moais:


No job too small!

then I took another request for a couple pieces with the Inter Islands resorts logo:

The novelty of taking commissions and repeating the same thing over and over hadn't worn off yet, so I did another special request for a Happy Tang guy 2.0:

The customer was kind of a hassle to deal with, so I sold it at the last Don's show without telling her. I'm glad I did it because it ended going to a better home anyway. That's what you get for being a pain in the ass, hassle customer!

I got a new kindle fire HD tablet that I can hook up to my new tv, so I go on Netflix and watch tv series I missed the first time aired. I started with all the breaking bad episodes, then moved on to Sons of Anarchy. I was feeling guilty spending way too much downtime watching tv, so I started some hookknife practice while tv viewing:

Was going for a more tikimod than traditional look with these

Somehow I missed taking pictures of the router pieces I did for the last Don's sale. They were just 10 or so catalog repeats anyway...

In between all that, I did another commission for a repeat design . Version 3.0 of the big eye guy:


It's been finished since that picture was taken. Supposed to deliver it last week, but being sick got in the way of that.

and finally...

This month started off with some rough draft paddle pieces:


Then I got real sick and had to stop working for a bit.

In case any of you missed it, I did another publicity photo for Tiki Oasis this year:

Man these were a popular item!

I think that's all the tiki stuff.
Buzzy Out!
