Benzart, Hewey, Hiltiki, AA, DT, and all my other "regulars" and other irregulars: Thank you very much for your continued and constant support. You guys make this much more fun for me and I consider you guys to be my TC "family." With that, I'd like to share my vacation pictures in tropical Mexico that I took on my cruise earlier this week. After all, we're family, right?: [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2006-08-05 11:05 ] |

WOW, Buzzy! Love it! Did you plan out your pattern at all, or are you just doodling off the top of yer head? I looked at the link where (I think) you bought that woodburner. How many tips did you get? I'm wanting to get one, and there's almost too many tips to choose from! How tall is that tiki, by the way? |

Buzzy, you are doing an Excellent job filling in all the empty spots. Isn't it So Much funn letting all those little monotanous lins flow around? It's a bitch when you start a pattern and it looks so Cool and then you realize you only have 72 more inches of the Samr pattern to do on the %^&*&#$& thing! It IS Amazing how much the wood burning adds to the piece. Keep it coming! |

Everyone: Thank you so much for your many kind words. I'm in the middle of several projects concurrently today, and I'm going to do some more burning later tonight(I sound like those white rasta surfer dudes from Del Mar right there...) I guess that I heard wrong: I thought that we were setting up a party for Bob Crane'S Service. I knew he was dead, but maybe there was some kind of foundation that was throwing a party. Sometimes the bigger parties give you free stuff, like at the playboy party a couple weeks back. Working on: |

I brought the computer home to make sure everything was ok with it. I'll get this back to Buzzy as soon as possible! Thanks, |

Words can't describe how cool this is - almost as cool as your job. Is that your fulltime gig, setting up parties and carving tikis? Also, what sort of chainsaw do you use to get such clean looking roughouts in such a quick time? Those guys are looking really nice already. |

BAy Park, I Love the Pelican shot. What a Cool gesture for the Royal Pelican to recognize your hut and land there and spend a bit of time with you. That makes it Special.. Glad to see you HAVE been Busy. Looks great as usual. |

Paipo: I will answer the chainsaw question in another post, when I can get some pictures of the whole process. For those two, the composition of each log dictated the design that I could apply to each one. They were both the same type of Mexi fan palm, but both were markedly different in their respective compositions. I'll post pictures of what I mean later. It will make more sense and others may gather some insight from seeing the particulars of this type of log. As for the job: yes, that's basically what I do now. Benzart: Good Morning! Right now, I'm standing at the edge of the cliff on my property, trying to get a good signal. The computer is resting on a tiki. Here's my view right now: It's almost as good a view as that Girls Gone Wild infomercial that they play this time of night, which is my customary background viewing choice. The sacrifices I make because I'm too much of a miser to pay for internet service... |

Just so the world knows: That pinstriping job on my vaccuum was done by TC legend Hewey of Down Under. I reckon I got the tikiest vaccuum around. Made a new sticker for my fake company too: I'm waiting to break down a party later tonight. Earlier today, i did a longboard tournament and scored a pile of clothes. An interesting item was this Shag shirt: |

Benzart: I'm spending WAY too much time on taht guy, but so far, the results seem to be worth the effort. Right now, I'm working on adding some more dark toned areas to balance out a three shade value scale without just firing up the torch and covering it all black. I plan to coat this one with a clear stain, so I want some darker areas too. Meanwhile, I just cannot shake the urge to hack, hack hack away at logs of all shapes(round) and sizes(not too big to move). My next project is the second two six footers for the miniature golf course. Started first one today after I got my beauty sleep(i"m still tired, and ugly, though.) |

Nice signs BayPark, and it looks like a great deal for thise carvings. Even tho they were "Mass Produced" by a family of Indo carvers, stydy them well because they were carved by Master carvers who have sold their soul to the almighty dollar. Those guys are capable of carving the most beautiful, intricate designs ever and they produce this stuff for pennies. There are som good chops in these pieces. Look at how they are done,,Learn well from them. |
