Old business: I finished these five guys just in time for Oasis Newer business: I put a couple coats of wood oil on this guy He keeps looking better and better! :) It blends in with some of the finer furniture in my house. Newest business: After tiki oasis, I told myself I'd take two weeks off from tiki to decompress from all the tiki overload I experienced during and leading up to the event. That lasted until about 11:30am on Monday. I finished carving the last couple things I left unfinished and started sanding this guy I cleaned my garage on Tuesday, a little... I finished sanding it today and stained him this evening I've been so busy last few days. You guys would hardly recognize the place: Looks like a months long mess waiting to happen. Back to work... Buzzy Out!

I wasn't going to carve because of the heat.I thought of Van Gough suffering for his art: drinking, hanging out with whores, and cutting off his ear. So, I went out in the heat to suffer for my art. Now That I've done this, I wonder if they'll let me carve at Cheetahs? Here's a little time spent in the warmth of the sun: It's so hot you can see the heat(I have my camera set on infrared) Cheetahs is in the same parking lot as Rockler! :) Buzzy Out!

Benzart: Thanks for giving away my secrets. Just because you know what I know, it doesn't mean everyone else needs to know it too. Yes, I just scratched a couple lines in the wood, put on some stain, and Poof! tricki tiki all done. Don't tell anyone all I'm doing is relief carving too. They cant tell from the pictures and I'm doing a pretty good job of making them think i'm doing this on round logs, instead of 2" x 12"s.

It's that stain on the right elbow This is Buffy Tiki now: The Bloodsucker. TikiDav: Please carve the Ernest Bourgnine to look like his character from Airwolf, complete with the hat and flight suit. That was the pinacle of his career, in my opinion. Are you being fed in there? Bowana: Free TikiDav! Closettiki: If it was a mystery or a secret, Benzart would have already blabbed it. It's the sign over the entrance gate to hell in Dante's Divine Comedy: "Through me lies the road to the city of grief. Through me lies the pathway to woe everlasting. Through me lies the road to the souls that are lost. Justice impelled my mighty architect: The power divine, and primal love and wisdom surpassing all, have here constructed me. Before I was created, nothing was save things eternal. I shall last forever. ABANDON HOPE, All YE WHO ENTER HERE!" GMAN: Killin' and cuttin'. But Benzart is right, as always: It's just the wood. I'm running out of magic ficus, though. I'm going to have have a midnight meeting at some southern crossroads sometime soon... Hiltiki: Well hello there Hiltiki. Thanks for sending some of that valley heat this way. It's like going to your house without the drive! Have you seen my friend TikiDav? I think Bowana did some bad things to him. :( That Dave was a nice guy too. Today was the highest thermometer reading of the summer: just got above 89 in the shade. Buzzy Out!

He keeps eating the broccoli that he's supposed to be carving. Ernest Bourgnine now looks more like Burgess Meredith. Yeah, he was a nice guy all right, but absolutely no table manners. Sorry to hear that you drew blood, Buzzy. Hopefully no stiches were required.
