Hey thanks Polynesiac. I'm trying to keep all these little ficus carvings the same shape as the original pieces that I cut away from all the bad spots in the log. Its been a fun little challenge to work these odd shapes out. I think I'm going to do a Pope hat shaped looking Lono head tonight... Buzzy Out! |

Thanks jamco. The wood is` ficus. It's very white and boring before staining, and then BOOM! -out pops all that grain. The pieces for those small ones came from a twisted part of the tree, like this: Other log stuff: I also got a couple logs of carrotwood Tiki Stuff: Sunset: GROG & Zaya: I think I heard my mom calling out the winner... I slept zero minutes last night :( Buzzy Out! |

-Aloha Buzzy! Your Tikis are getting better each time :) Have you ever used a propane torch to add depth to the grain? The heat causes the softer wood to sink, while the harder grain remains... (Witco style) Turn your torch on as high as possible and get as close as possible and move as slowly as possible until you have glowing embers emitting from the smoldering stump...:D Just kidding, just practice with the distance and speed until you have the depth and color desired...

I sliced a big chunk off my knuckle last night. It happened while carving, but I hesitate to call it a carving accident. I was putting a chiselaway, and it deflected off a box and scraped a chunk off my left knuckle. It didn't bleed for about 20 seconds...It's not deep, it just covers a large area. Damn chisels are sharp. Anyway, it was really nothing, so I got back to carving details on the chopchop 2 tiki: Hola Freddie: Welcome to my thread! This is where I spend all my time, when I'm not coveting your lava collection over on the ccj's thread, that is. You got me experimenting out in the garage last night: Zaya, GROG, Hiltiki, and Buzzy's MOM: It looks like we have enough people interested in that piece now, that we can have a mini fight tournament for it. How about holding it at the Tonga Hut? (Calling out the winner=My mom is calling out the winner as in calling out the winner to FIGHT. Like after Brandon Vera won his first UFC fight, he called out chuck liddell, to fight. He didn't say "chuck, chuck, chuck." He said, " I want to fight Chuck Liddell." Calling out means you are publically stating who you will fight :) ) I ate too much pizza... |

The Tonga Hut is perfect, and I think it should be just like old school UFC when there were NO RULES except for one, no eye gouging. Everything else was legal. What do you say about that? I call out GROG! I'm off to training, Zaya out! |

That is Really a Cool little full body tiki and Super well proportioned. We have a carrot wood tree out here that is considered an invasive species. I had 2 in my back yard and it took forever to get them eliminated, kept sproowting up all around the stump. The wood was Darker and redder and very unstable and soft. Yours looks good. |

I have enough of those lazy ass tikis sitting around already The tiki reading the magazine just asked the other tiki a question based upon reading a recent article. He asked, " If Darrayl Hannah and that other actor who drives a cooking grease car moved to SLO, would tikitony run out of gas?" If I had a muscle car that ran on cooking grease, I'd give it bacon grease for higher performance... Bacon Lovin' Buzzy Out! |

The problem with those cooking grease cars is the whole car smells like MacDonalds French Fries, but 1000% STRONGER. You drive around with this queasy feeling that you're saving gas but somehow getting fatter. What the heck would happen if you poured some real gas in those things? SCA-rrrrrrEEEEEACH!!!! |

Cool Buzz....Is this an ink pattern, or did you use a wood burner on this? I've been keeping my eye out for one of those wood burners. I remember having one years ago, but it is long since gone now...I couldn't find one at the Depot last week. |

Thanks Billy. It's mine...
Hey hey, babalu. Missed you last gathering. I use the Bamboo Ben Aproved Super Megaburner 4000. It's the dual port model like the one that Zaya had at the Chopchop at Mieko's.
Moko? What is that? I'm doing this one based on the Zaya swirls style... More doodles: Rainy day Buzzy Out! |
