Wednesday had a less than stellar sunset: Thursday made up for it: Sneakytiki: I probably have just over two hours on that one (not counting log prep time.) It's quick because 85% of it is the outer flat surfaces which are not even touched. It's also only about 2.5 feet tall and is a split log. It wasn't a good log chunk, so I wanted to do something simple that would turn out well, in a short amount of time. I'll probably put another hour into it during the sanding, staining, and sealing process. It was never meant to be anything special; just cheap for the quality. Buzzy Out! |

Hey Spermy! Good to hear from you again. Sorry 'bout the old back...Seems to happen to the best of us. Sunset was just some ugly clouds that gave way to darkness yesterday. Sorry to let the sunset fans down, but no sunset picture. Carved a quick face on a log last night Now that I have been on TC for one year, I have a few things to say about all the newbies and tiki trend jumpers around here... Feels Like Forever |

Babalu: Nope, never touched the stuff. I asked my tree guy if there were any unique characteristics of Torrey pines, and he said no, it's just like any other pine tree. Missed you on Sat, hopefully well cross paths soon. Since the sunset will probably not happen again, I slapped out...er, crafted this low budget tiki this morning, just to start out the week on a positive note:
Buzzy Out! |

Those crusty ones are funny. You can knock those out in, what, 15 minutes per? If the Thing from Fantastic Four had a tiki in his flower bed out front, that's what it would look like. Thing OUT! |

Tiki Farm Sale Eve: Here were the cheap ones I finished last night: Check out my thread on marketplace for a complete catalog of everything I'm selling. Happy Days!
It's not something to be proud of, but they pay the bills and allow me a lot of time to make whatever I want. That's the nice part of nice work! But thanks all the same. I'm trying to get GOOD and FAST. GROG: Your Moai is finally on the way... I take cash, Visa, Disc, and MC. |

#1 I don't think you really missed anything. Except a bunch of funny colored mugs that were super cheap, a bunch of tikis, sun, fun, hot dogs, and the best damn gathering of famous TCers ever! Oh, yeah, and GROG too.
Damn! Sorry you got sick. I'm sure our paths will cross one of these days. Get Well! I'm almost out of tikis, and feeling kind of lonely here, so several more "buzzytikis' are in the immediate future...
Thanks Conga. I'd like to thank Zaya for the lovely pictures. I sold 17 of my carvings that day. Came up in three cars and left with one, and it was only half full. I cannot think of one negative thing about the whole experience, at all. Other than my bottom lip is sunburned as heck.... Cammo: Thanks so much for dragging my crap up there for me. The whole TC Ohana: Yuz Guyz Rule! Buzzy's Mom: Thanks for spending the day with all of us tiki affected people.(FOOTNOTE: My mom said she likes all you guys and had a great time! She couldn't wait to meet GROG and Bamboo Ben! Thanks for being on your best behavior, guys. ARRRR!) Yesterday Sunset: Post Tiki Farm Sale Hangover: I got a flyer on my porch offering cleanup services by some housekeeper. I think i'll call her so I can see the look on her face when i say "All this needs to be spotless!" Guess I'd better shut up and start cleaning :( Oh wait, it's nap time...

"I'd like to know what the psychologists have to say about all this... " If they ever got their noses out of those Jung Over-Symbol books and tried carving a Tiki they'd say it was FUN! And that is one sad looking dog there. (Where did all my wooden pals go, sniff...) Hey, Buzz, where are the Tiki Mugs??? You got lots of plastic in the sink, but no MUGS! What's up? Do you drink Mai Tais out of BLUE PLASTIC????? |

Congratulation Buzz! Looks like a lot of folks stepped up to purchase a number of your carvings. That's just great man! Oh, I guess that was a wad of cash in your pocket....I was gonna leave a comment about you needing to get into the "movie trade." Either that or you had an adjustable wrench in your pocket......or you were REALLY happy to see Grog? I'm glad you had such a great reception at the meet. Smile, and enjoy it. You deserve it! We've all watched you work so hard for so long. So, are you gonna buy toolz, pay bills, or maybe something that sparkels for Zaya?? -G "The saw is family" [ Edited by: GMAN 2007-04-16 21:15 ] |
