Good stuff Johnny! Looks like my studio these days. I've got a million things all in different states of start and stop strewn everywhere. Always getting distracted by the latest new idea and setting everything else aside. Put my mind to it and cranked out the new pieces Monday so I can get back on track. Its terrible when you have an idea and it takes over everything else... everything else suffers! :wink: These all look great and they are well on their way to the detail stage. Looks like you'll have lots of time this week as we'll all be stranded in our homes after the next storm. We're expecting a foot or more by Thursday. Then we ship it off to you. |

Hey there, that is quite the arsenal. I'm kinda jealous. What a basket of projects to pick from... If it's ADD, it's really working well for you. Nice nice beginnings. |

Hey JohnnyP-oolboy! Howzitt? Itz warm here Bubba. The pool is in the mid-70s but the days have been in the 80s. I think we'll be able to tough it out here until spring :D Looks like hard living at the P Ranch. Sux mang. I bet you are burning sick amounts of wood, aye? Save some wood for summer carving.... Enjoy that drink, and know that you'll heading to the beach soon. Lemme know when you touch down. =G$ |

At least you can still see your tikis... mine are buried under 4 foot drifts in the backyard. There's more on the way Thursday... not like you need me to tell you, every 2-3 days we get more snow. Letsee the club! |

Here is an update on a few the projects. Too many hours of sanding, and blisters to show for it. All done except for stain. One is walnut and the others a tropical oak I think. |

Hey! Isn't that cruelty to Tikis? They're not cold weather friendly...we could use some Tiki Snowbirds down here in the winter instead of the kinds we get. Do your best to keep warm, man!

Hi Johnny, I'm pretty jealous of all those clubs. Really nice renderings. Have you ever swung them around to see how they'd be to fight with? |

Thanks Robin, It is fun swinging them around, but it is rather sobering knowing what these were used for. The Pacific islanders designed some formidable weapons. The shark tooth ones especially. Harro, the dark wooded clubs will be sanded smooth and left natural, the lighter ones will be stained a little darker. Here is an update on the gable figure and a finished shark tooth club.

Hi, Sorry guys, those are fake shark teeth in the pendant, I carved them out of bone to look like shark teeth. I might try to make a couple of these to sell, do you think there might be any interest? Finkdaddy- Thanks for the complement, I really didn't think I had a style, I jumped around to so many thing, I didn't think I could have developed one. Gman- Here is the Mrs Mai Kai updates as well as a Vanuatu slit gong I finally finished.
Thanks [ Edited by: JohnnyP 2008-03-16 17:38 ] to change picture. [ Edited by: JohnnyP 2008-03-17 17:22 ] |
