Yeah Gman, that green is my favorite too. :) AlohaStation, anytime you want to stop by is great. Let me know and maybe we can get Gman here too! Here is an order of magnets and pendants that I just put together for a TCer. Someone is going to have a very colorful fridge!

F finkdaddy Member Wisconsin Joined: May 11, 2004 Posts: 2061	F finkdaddy Posted posted on Mon, Apr 16, 2007 3:18 PM Aloha y'all! I haven't posted in a few days because I've been busy painting my resin pieces for an art walk I'm vending at this month. If anyone is in the area, I'll be vending at the Hobe Sound Stroll and Art Walk on April 28th. I'd love to see you there! I wanted to have a couple more sea life designs, so I started on this seahorse today. It's a piece of mahogany that was a bit more firm than the stuff I've worked with so far. I like it better because it doesn't tend to break and peel as much. Lately I've been using a combo of Dremel tools and the hook knife. I'm really itching to try a big tiki. I'm gonna have to invest in some big tools next month I think. I already have a chainsaw, so all I should need is some chisels, right? Ben, I need some lessons! Thanks for looking everybody! :drink:

When I'm done with this one, I'm going to do an old fashioned wooden tiki 'cause I know you like 'em so much. :) Ben, I'm so glad you're home safe. Don't over do it right away, we don't want you getting hurt. I can't wait to see you have brewing in the workshop! McTiki, thanks! If you're serious I'll make sure you get first dibs. Mahalo!

F finkdaddy Member Wisconsin Joined: May 11, 2004 Posts: 2061	F finkdaddy Posted posted on Tue, Apr 17, 2007 11:48 AM Yeah, Gman, it's time I think. :wink: A Marq would (wood?) be a good place to start. When I get that far I want to spend a lot of time on the design and try to make those deep tiki cuts. Of course I'll let you know when I start on it. How's that secret project of yours commin'? Pics, man, pics! I just stained the seahorse. When it's all dried up I'll put in a shell eye and tie a real chord on it.

Each one seems better than the last, and this seahorse is just super. Anxious to see you go into big wood but I'm afraid you're going to spur some of us into retirement. Nice work.

Someone before said "Now go BIG", and it struck me that going big with a similar seahorse, well that would be very cool. Did you already mention what kind of wood you used? I missed it if so...
F finkdaddy Member Wisconsin Joined: May 11, 2004 Posts: 2061	F finkdaddy Posted posted on Fri, Apr 20, 2007 6:33 AM VampiressRN, Thank you! I'll post pics of the resins sometime this morning on my resin thread. Hewey, Thanks mate! I will go big before too long. I need some big tools first. :wink: Duddy, Your stuff is looking good as well. Thank you! Haikai, Thank you. I've done a few seahorses now and they're fun to make. McTiki, Thanks for the props! :) AlohaStation, I want to start something big soon. I need to clean up my chain saw and get a couple of gouges first, I think, and then I'll be on my way. Benzart, Always major thanks to you for your kindness and advice. Come over any time! Dr Bamboo, Clarita, and JohnnyP, Mahalo!! :D Tikigap, I've thought about maybe doing a series of sea life wall hangings. A big free-standing 5 foot seahorse would be pretty damn cool though! The wood is a nice firm piece of mahogany that I finished with red oak stain. Thank you, everybody, for all your kind words!
F finkdaddy Member Wisconsin Joined: May 11, 2004 Posts: 2061	F finkdaddy Posted posted on Fri, Apr 20, 2007 1:06 PM I started work on a larger sized Cook Island face today. I think it's going to be piece of a larger sign, I'm not sure yet. Benzart stopped by and gave me a few pointers on how to make certain cuts and on how to sharpen the old hook knife. It helped a lot. Thanks Ben!
