Hamo, Dan says thank you for the HB and for thinking he ages well.

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

Here is a Wish for Greg Liebig. A Tiki Bob lamp. I think it's the first time I've supercarved a lamp.

To make a lamp I cut out the bottom and then I make a top. Looks a bit warped but this has been cast so that it is thick and heavy.

So then I begin to make it right. I level the top and

trim all the sides.

The I cut a hole on the top and at the bottom back for the future wiring project done by the buyer.

Now he is ready to be supercarved.

I just decide as I go how I will carve it. Notice the tiki on the table in the background?

I stopped carving long enough to sell these four tikis. Then Dan comes down and rearranges everything so our rooms look good again.

Back to carving.

Now the tiki lamp is done and the room is back in order.

I hid the card that explained that this tiki had been in a movie that Elmo Williams directed. It's a very old and special tiki. Half is a woman and half is a man. I've written about it before. You can search Elmo and have it come up.

Thank you always for the visits, Wendy
