hang10tiki and I love reading your messages!

============================

I am currently working on the Wedding mugs. 15 Supercarved Tiki Bobs. I can't show the backs because they are personalized and the couple want these kept as a secret until the wedding. I have permission to show the fronts and sides.

Here are the first four out of the molds and needing to be cleaned up and prepared for doing the carving.

I can do two of these mugs in one day. More than that and my hands give out. Numbness takes over. I'm wearing out.

Mug #1

Mug #2

The first two mugs together.

The next day. Mug #3.

Mug #4

On the third day I did Mug #5

Mug #6

The first 6 mugs are dying. I turn them over so the bottom gets to dry for a couple of hours and them back on their bottoms for awhile. They go back and forth until they are dry enough that lying them on their sides won't dent the carving.

Thank you for the visit, Wendy
