I would like my carvings to be quicker and more immediate looking but that is just irrational thinking on my part.
"Gretsch" is almost done. He is made from jelutong and will be painted orange and black and clear with a green felt covered palm tree. I will also add a green light.

My son in law asked me if I was going to include a whammy bar. I briefly thought about it, but when he asked I had to include. I will carve something on it.

This seven foot piece of birch is named "Birch" because I thought that would be really clever.

I will have him finished by the upcoming Tiki Kon event here in Portland in July.

The main body portion will be blue with clear highlights and a coconut colored monkey on top.
