I have been enjoying your posts ATTC, thanks for the props! I appreciate it Vampiress, the idea came to me after endlessly looking at the big block of bass wood inhabiting my garage and thinking it may look good as a hanging gong kind of thing. Skip the angle strap will be covered with rope but I have been pondering what to do with the eye bolts and hooks. The best I came up with was to wrap 'em with jute but your trick o' the trade sounds better, thanks! Will I try to walk the line between deep carving and messing with the structural integrity of the piece. My yard is littered with the failures. I received the much anticipated arrival of Tikiskip's package today and what a treat!! Mixed in with the three floats were trimmings, chain, and assorted goodness that will surely find their way on future tikis. Thank you so much!!!

The smallest yellow float looked best.

I will add yellow fabric to the back panel, highlights to the carving, and back lighting to finish.
