BambooBen: The June gloom went away for a while this afternoon. A few clouds were lingering to help the sunset Started barstool #2 today. Here it is with some more progress on the first one too Pablus: You'll have to give me a couple more days notice now so that Hiltiki can swing by too. Let me know if I need to pick anything up for you for your stay. So far as camping under that carving tarp, I think the longest I spent living under it was about five weeks. I have two extra guest rooms, but if you would like, you will find the outside area quite pleasant to stay in, as I did on several occasions. I think the fireworks will start every night in another week for entertainment too. We'll take care of some logs, sing some songs, and have a few drinks. Buzzy Out! |

Hey Benzart, here's yesterday's sunset shots for ya: I finished the carving part of all the barstools today As I will now show you, these are not just a matching set of 30" logs that people will sit on, they are in fact hand crafted items of leisure furniture. These feature my patent pending ass dents for comfort(c).. and the patent pending slide up hand molded curved comfort edge(c) Each chair features dinstinct decorative differences: It's pretty breezy right now, so I have to wait until later to burn these. Buzzy Out! |

Hey G. It's a nice piece of wood, so I thought it deserved something better than usual. It's also taking a while because I'm pretty much doing it all hookknife, and it's a little large for tool that small. I was too tired at 3am to post the progress: Buzzy Out! |

Its either, you bring the wood chips and tikis into your house or your lazyboy outside. Either way, you probably always feel at home. Love that big tiki around your neck in the event photo. Sorta 80s tiki rap. |

No sunset yesterday, but this flower bloomed: We had a little sun for a sunset today: I finished this tiki yesterday: And I'm almost done with today's tiki: Teakey: Once I put the indoor outdoor carpet out there too, it was just like home sweet home, at home! You just get off restriction, or something? I went to the vet today with my dog and I still smell like cat pee. I think it's on my clothes. In a couple days, my own stink will conquer the cat stink, and I will not hate cats as much as I do now. Buzzy Out! |

Today's sunset: I finished yesterday's tiki yesterday. Here it was today with my growing sanding line: I didn't get to carve a tiki today because I had to do dumb stuff during the day. But this evening, I got to hang out with some baby lions. This lion liked to play: This lion wanted to eat, and he knows he gets fed on the table. Little lions can growl already. I fed a lion for the first time in my life today: I'll try and make a tiki tomorrow. There will be no lions interrupting me. |

They are cute , cuddly, and quite nice! (if you are not a tiki) But look what happens when the tikis are added to the rabbits environment: Next week on Buzzy's Wild Kingdom: Buzzy Out! |

I Always knew that place of yours was a zoo! The baby lions were Awesome and you looked like you were on cloud 9 feeding them. What an experience that few of us even Dream about. If it was me feeding them I would be losing a few fingers then an arm, then,,? coool Tikis in the rabbit basket too, was it messy when they ate the rabbits? glad you didn't show that part. |

Hey Benzart: I cannot stop and have fun because I'm too busy working. They need to change the way the word "work" sounds, and make it sound more like "fun" does. Then at least I would be happy knowing that work sounded like fun. And if it sounds like fun, I'll try it! Yesterday was a "work" day. Doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Then I made a new version for my custom sign line: Then the lettering. I used the vinyl sticker machine for this part. Back to work, unless I start having fun, that is. |

Well then Freddie, here you go! It may not be as exciting as other signs, but imagine yourself with the runs. Because then, it would be the most important sign in the world to you, and when you finally found it, it would be the most beautiful sign you could lay your eyes on also. And I put a coat of clear on these guys while I was out today. Now I got some crap to do around the house. I like to tell people: It's not the Mexican food you ate at 2:05 am that made you sick, it was the ten cocktails you had from 10pm to 2 am that actually made you sick. |

Buzz Buzz - What was the stain used on the little dark one in the middle? I'm still looking for a really dark, almost black stain. That one has a nice red look, too. Are you cranking these out on one of those 3D design machines? You're not human, Buzz! How did you get your carving superpowers - some kind of Nuclear Toxic Gamma Ray accident? |

Sunset: Sanded and stained this guy:
Cammo: I'm going to sand this one after my evening break(union rules) and I'll stain it with some ebony that I have so you can check it out:
It's kind of pathetic, actually. It's no super power: only time. I really have nothing more, or nothing else better to do with my days. No Life Buzzy Out! |
