Today's sunset:
The news said, "Build the ARK!, storm's on the way," and I only got .75 inches. What a letdown.
My first act as President is to make it illegal for women to dress like she did in that picture... hey babalu, I found one of your old action figures at the swap meet last weekend:
That kind of reminds me of 4WD and Zaya's puppies at the chop on saturday...

Sunset: Here are the final shots of this KU. I love it when a tiki is all shiny and new looking. It took four coats of stain to get it where I wanted it. It matches real close to the natural colors of the frond pieces I left on the log, as this photo illustrates: Now I'm switching to small stuff for a few hours. Here's a 6" Hawaiian out of basswood I'm working on right now: Kate and Freddie: By all means, continue... :) Buzzy Out! [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2008-01-29 21:19 ] |

I just carved out the face on the card holder: All I have to do now is a lot of sanding... HOKU: You noticed the necklace loop. Good eye! Had to go over the top on this one. I imagined being at work, logging on to TC, and finding a tiki event I hadn't heard about that evening right after work, real close by. Caught without tiki attire, I could simply go to the supply closet, grab some paper clips, make a chain and: Viola! Tiki card holder turned tiki bling pendant. Dressed and ready for action! I say Mir. What about the main event: Sylvia vs. Big Nog? I am The Original Action Man! |

He wants to know if he can have a UV heat lamp on the desk. The kind they use for reptiles. He doesnt want to lose the San Diego tan I'm going to give him soon. Buzzy, on behalf of the tiny tush tiki |

There actually is a very nice desk lamp that puts out some good light and heat for him to bask in. Not UV, but I think it will keep him a nice toasty brown without setting the business cards ablaze. |

Ahhhhhh! Nightmares of the moment I accidentally cut a tooth from my Oki Benzart Tutorial tiki! It seemed to fly through the air in slow motion right in front of Ben! How does this new bass piece compare to your finished Oki tutorial from just over a year ago? |

Between the storms sunset: I started the second support pole yesterday.
What an action packed minute and a half that was! I kept thinking Kurt Angle was gong to throw in a chair and jump into the cage for a chair smackdown!
Wow! C'Al in da House! What an honor! Thanks Al. Can I start name dropping you as "my good friend Al" when the topic of tiki comes up in conversation?
Thanks Robin! I was feelin' "it" on this one.
Here they are: the new one one the left and the Benzart on the right List of things to do today:

Yesterday's sunset: Meanwhile, back in the tiki world: stained with some red oak
Like last contest, the prize winners(notice the plural)will get to choose the prizes again. Good luck!
This tiki has features from my other to do list. For these two tikis, the guy who wanted them needed the following things done:
the tiki crowd has spoken! The prizes will be mugs!
At this point, he kinda looks like a self portrait. He shall now be known as the "It's Five o'clock Somewhere Tiki!" Sunny day. Getting close to 70 degrees. Tiki time! |

Today's sunset: The Great Sunset Watch Contest II**** OK! Contest time again. Once again, we will be using the sunsets for this one. Right now, the sun is heading north each day. In a few days, the sun will set on the Catamaran hotel. Seven days after the sun first touches the catamaran, the contest will start and I will no longer accept entries. So, in summary:
and
Two chances to win! Winners choose the prizes! I think that we will get about two more weeks to turn in your guesses. I'll make up the rest of the rules as we go along... Good luck all! Buzzy Out! |

... you could do all those things I suppose, if you wanted to actually have a chance... but it's more fun to just pluck a number from nowhere i reckon. SO here we go... I say, ummm... 32 days after the sun hits that first building, or 16th March!!! Lock it in! |

Hi Buzzy and Babalu and Lapatiki 2. Looks like you guys had some fun. That Maori Moko piece looks very nice Buzzy. I tried to figure out the contest but it gave me a headache. Guessing...the sun will hit the first building in four days. The sun will hit the second building 20 days after that. Since it's Leap Year that makes it....to the second building on March 9th....I think. Whew! |
