I started today's adventures by taking out a 90 degree wedge from a six and a half foot mexican fan palm log. Did some more work on this guy this afternoon: TD: Sorry to hear of your stress, glad you're back around here. Good luck finding a new camera. Getting Better Buzzy Out! |

THE UFC-TIKI CONNECTION I think: We, as Tiki Central participants, should adopt BJ Penn as our favorite fighter, from now on, because he wore a tiki shirt into the octagon-Thus solidifing the Tiki-UFC connection that I've been encouraging on this thread. Who else, other than a Hawaiian in a tiki shirt, could possibly be a better fighter for we, the Tiki and fighting enthusists to rally behind? BJ Penn Fan Buzzy Out! |

Benzart: Someone asked me if you were the guy from Florida who first put a pineapple on a tiki. Are you this man? Someone else asked me if you used to come to California "back in the day" about once a year with a trailer full of tikis that you used to sell . I do not know the answers to these questions. Should I try the search function before I ask you directly? I didn't have time to carve today. Another sign means I can buy the fixtures for GMAN's room in my tiki island mansion though: The Big Time: I also got another 9,8, and 7 footer. Along with a couple 6 footers and a couple small 5 and a half footers Big Log Buzzy Out! Heh, heh... [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2006-09-29 23:00 ] |

McTiki: I picture in my imagination a group of friends, all together partying, and they have a drinking ritual: They all do a shot and yell "Kaboom!" and slam their glasses down. They have been doing the same ritual for years, probably started in high school. So, when they wanted a sign in their bar that echoes their drinking spirit, "kaboom" it was. Actually, I think it's for a liquor or sports drink that they promoting at a golf tournament later this month. Couldn't sleep last night, so i did some more on this guy I think last night was finally the turning point in the Buzzy vs. The Rats in the Kitchen war. Two more notches on my death tally added... |

Great stuff! I swear Im going to have to 'go big' one of these days... Ditto what others have said, good idea on the corner piece & love the Bar signs (might have to wander the neighbourhood to pilfer some bamboo for my own kaboom-room...) T3 |

KTD: He looks like a "lurker", doesn't he? I'm still trying to find when it is acceptable to leave the bark on. When I've tried in the past, it really didn't work out. This one is ok, I just have trouble with the knee pads. He looks like one of those hip hop fly girl dancer chicks. After seeing how it came out, I was thinking of doing two matching ones to be placed in the same room, kind of like a pair of giant wall frames, from floor to ceiling.
If I could just learn to carve stuff amazingly fast on a small scale, then I could actually do the tikis too...But, they need to be affordable. I think I need to get another tool, though. A small japanese pruning saw to make cleaner cuts on the black bamboo. Or maybe a band saw... T3: I hear you're kind of new here on TC, and have been "making the rounds." Glad you dropped by. Funny what you say about going big: when I check out your stuff; Paipo, Gman, and Ben's too, I find myself swearing that I'll have to go small one day. Then I look at those big logs in my front yard... Now for the big log in my back yard: Carving a Big Log Buzzy Out! |

Hewey: I cannot take credit for this log's shape; it actually grew naturally into that shape. I was feeling lazy, so I figured I'd just go with it to save time. I have the other side of the log still, and I am going to turn it over the other way for my next one... Fell asleep last night before I posted the sunset update: Lost One Whole Night of Work Buzzy Out! |

Today's sunset, please do not look directly at it: I put some clear on these guys today: As for those logs at Zaya's: Hewey: I think it would be easier to move my tarp and four poles and relocate the "factory" to the logs. If you look through the gate in this next picture, you can see my 65 vw bus stored in there. I could make that the new headquarters. I could then live in my bus, and be the crazy dude who lives in his car and carves tikis(actually, that sounds like a cliche) Zaya: Thanks for the pictures. saved me a trip up there. Before you start bringing those down here, can you strip them first? It would save me time and you are always offering to help. Feel free to use any of those you want. Pull out the ones that I can make into chairs first... McTiki: I know the feeling... Those Logs Left Me Speechless Buzzy Out! [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2006-10-11 02:06 ] |
