I know a guy who works for the city clearing trees and mentioned I’d like a palm log to carve into a tiki. He showed up with a front end loader and dropped this enormous thing in my driveway, the ground shook. I let it sit to dry for almost two years and there’s still some wet wood on the bottom (between the legs.) So yeah, much bigger than I expected but I got to teach myself to carve with a chainsaw.

Mostly cleanup and sanding this weekend. A few last details to carve next weekend. Based on by Al Evans’ design.
