Hiltiki: It was between the log and the sock. I looked everywhere else before I looked there, though. Some times it's finished, other times you're just done... I also hacked this little guy off the stick and have to do some touch ups and sanding It's been a long day at work today. I'm looking forward to sitting on the couch a watching tv now. I hope pants off dance off is still on. Buzzy Out! |

Hey Duddy. Sorry, but I was in super fast mode on this one and didn't get any progress shots: According to my estimations, about 5% of the population can tell that there is a difference between the preceeding tiki and this one: Benzart: I work hard, but I play harder!(It really doesn't mean anything, I just like to make myself sound cool and sexy at the same time.) I need to work on my wordplay... I think I need to get to work now. ** I have a long job ahead of me! ** When I play at work, I'm actually getting my job done. |

Hey TikiDuddy: I felt so bad about no updates on that last quick one, that I wanted to try to make it up to you immediately. Here's a sequence of photos along with my commentary on the execution of this project that I just completed. Little tiki drafting: There you are TDuddy. I hope that makes up for the disappointment you must have felt to see that last one done with no updates. Chock full o' Updates |

G: Of course. It's one of my two primary destinations. As for swinging by, I'm going to have the heliocopter drop my somewhere in the swamp and i'll try to make my way to a flowing river and follow it east to the coast. Then it's just a matter of finding whichever is closest, your place or benzarts. To reach your guys' places, I'll be able to utilize the necessary urban survival skills I learned by watching my friends play that video game Grand Theft Auto:MiamiVice. I'm trying to find some quicksand to practice in before I commit to a specific date, though. I will obviuosly keep you well informed as to my progress. Here's another one I managed to slap out this afternoon: Sunset next! |

Can you believe what is being passed off as a "sunset" these days? I sanded and stained the little basswood Maori inspired guy: I have the tv on in the background, tuned to a channel where the Girls Gone Wild commercial comes on occasionally. The sound of those steel drums makes me want to carve. When the commercial goes away after only 30 seconds, I lose the urge to carve suddenly. Carving late at night with that infomercial on for hours on end in the past has resulted in a Pavlovian example of classical conditioning, where I compulsively desire carving upon hearing the girls gone wild steel drum theme. To facilitate a better carving environment, I truly believe that I must have those naughty girls gone wild on in the background now. Carving now has a deep rooted psychological affliction associated with it for me, so hopefully, living in California, that will qualify me for some sort of disability. I think the 30 minute version of the Girls gone wild commercial is coming on now. *Legal Disclaimer: Not affiliated with Cammo, Cam, or Cam's Studio, nor does this unregistered trademark phrase refer to any garmet or general clothing style worn by Cammo.

I like this picture so I'm sticking it on the top of this page so I can look at it for the next couple days: There was a small square piece on the basswood log left after I cut off that last one. I went to remove it, and ended up carving this just over one inch tiki choker: My friend Morris DeSmithes came over and told me that walking around with that little Ku pendant would look "totally gay." (His words) He suggested adding the choker to it and wearing it as an ensemble: Buzzy Out! |

post #1,000* Another Tiki Central milestone. 1,000 posts,100 pages on my thread . This must be how Rickey Henderson felt after he broke the all time walks and runs record. Last year, I used this picture to promote myself at Tiki Oasis: Things are a little different now, and some people may be more familiar with me as a person, than my body of work. So, this year, I changed the emphasis of my promotional material to reflect where the focus should be:
I'll never get tired of that picture. |

Best be careful, the Ancients are having fun with you. They will make you do weierd things and they'll make you carve strange tikis at night and They will use your tools at night to carve strange stuff and you will get the blame. Careful. |

Today's sunset: I couldn't sleep last night, so I carved this little Maori tourist art inspired pendant with the hookknife and a couple small hand gouges: It's about 4" tall x 1" x 1". Stained with red mahagony Here's where you hook it to a big fat fake silver chain HOK: Freddie, you need to register that domain name, immediately. Couldn't post for a couple of days because you had me laughing so much. Chippin' Males has to happen! Buzzy Out! |

Sunset today: It may be hard to tell from these photos, but I put some polishing wax on these and later buffed them out with the dremel tool and a polishing tip. I cleaned a few logs today for next week's event. While I was letting the planer cool, I whittled this: Gman: Don't worry. :wink: Buzzy Out! |

A borrowed sunset taken by my friend in Costa Rica: BK: Hey, there's plenty of room up here on "my" throne. Hop on up big guy! Also, I have a friend starting up a magazine called "Chipp'in Male" Carving Magazine. I'll forward your contact info to him. Sounds like it might be your kind of thing. I know I jumped at the opportunity. GROG: When you're done taking inventory of everything that you love about your good buddy Al, why don't you ask him if he'd like to be featured in a start up magazine called "Chipp'in Males" Carving Magazine... Okay, who is sexier: Fabio or John Holmes? Buzzy Out! |

Buzzy has a satirical attitude and a wonderful iconoclastic outlook. I'm stickin' with pasty, woodchips on the livingroom floor, Buzzy. Buzzy has an expensive education, but says "Fuck you, I'm surfin' and choppin'". THIS is almost as cool as California falling into the sea!! Grog need stop look at boys trunks in judgmental manner. Billybob lend Grog old Surf mag swimsuit edition instead. Grog look at girl. Grog learn like girl. We all happy then. RWT32 Las Vegas32, F&AM [ Edited by: billybobaloo 2007-08-10 01:02 ] |

Can Bamboo Ben and Crazy Al still qualify for the magazine even though they performed with King Kukulele back in the early eighties in Chippendales? GROG think Buffy the Vampire Slayer could kick both John Holmes and Fabio's asses!!

Good... I just put some varnish on a few tikis this evening, but the light in the garage makes for crappy pictures of dark tikis. Tiki fans have something to look forward to. Since there is a lull in the action, I'd like to introduce a new character in season two of the House of Buzz video series: Ladies and Gentlemen, Like everybody else here at the House of Buzz, Buddy Cat likes tikis a whole lot. Buddy Cat lives next door, but he hangs out with me and the dog while his owners are at work during the day. For me, it's like owning a cat without having to feed it or keep a stink box in the house. Sometimes I find him sleeping in the garage at night, and he usually comes in when I'm working at night in the garage. I call him Buddy Cat because I trained my dog not to attack anything I called buddy. Former pet's names of mine include: Buddy Snake, Buddy Lizard, Big Buddy Lizard, Little Buddy Lizard, and Mini Buddy Lizard. If this cat was not named Buddy cat, my dog would kill it when it swats her in the face like this: For those of you who may have read about the other new character in the trade publications, I'm sorry to say... Look for more House of Buzz videos soon! TDuddy: Let me tell you about my neighbors... GROG: Definitely! Spermy: I'd hope Buffy was trained in Jujitsu and would pull full guard on me(the movie Buffy, not the other TV Buffy)when we started fighting. Then I'd employ the "lay and pray" ride her out to victory fight strategy. That would be fun, and to let a woman win simply because she was a woman is sexist and discriminatory. Letting a woman win based upon her gender would be denying women the rights their feminist revolutionaries fought so strongly for in the past. So if you do not want to be labeled a bigot and a sexist, you need to start trying to beat women up when they start fights with you. Don't let GROG discourage you, you'll be able to take a chick in a fight someday. Just start out with scrawny chicks with colds to get a few wins under your belt and build your confidence. i can train you if you want... Good Neighbor Buzzy Out!
