Benz Does need a drink, I was laffing so hard I cried. he was funny back then. What he had not seen was the remains of a cockroach left on the pizza: a leg and a wing. (Well they say it tastes like chicken!) |

Hey man, I Kinda liked them Pizza Moai just a bit better since they tasted a Whole lots better that meant that they were better to do and easier to clean up. I'm just waiting for the next pizza one to be done and Oh btw could we order some extra cheese and double anchovies on this one??♦♠ |

I thought it was someone else,Hmmm ..They look nice and well fed, must be the Pizza poor dudes. Now they'll be wanting a Domino's on Rapanui next to the tattoo hut! :lol: |

Sweet Moais Surfin'!!!! I use Watco rejuvenating oil after I stain, GMAN got me to use it and I know he does too. Try it you will love it and you can apply it when needed, actually more the better!!! [ Edited by: tikifreak1 2008-07-01 18:18 ] |

I like the Hand-rub Poly. It has the look of oil with the protective nature of Polyurethane. Looking Good. |

Aloha, I tried the hand rub poly, me like it...not so much. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it looks pretty similar to the regular poly. I do like it for the UV protection and whatnot though. |

Hey Surfin, Nice job on the Moai Twins, you make me proud. The trick with the hand rub stuff is to use a minimally wet cloth, the drier the better, you should be putting on a very fine film and when it dries, a quick buff with the green scouring pad , brush off the dust and do it again. After you have done that 5 or 6 times it will start looking Sweet, but Not until you have several coats. It just takes very little. |

A nice set of twins, it is amazing how two things that look so much alike have such different personalitys and features. So I'm with Aloha, which finish do you like better? You may have said, but what type of wood is that? I don't see a lot of grain features. The pizza and nuget carvings made me hungry. |

I'm gonna take one of these chicken Moai's and glass 'em up in surfboard resin, make it a neck pendant, and put in tiki marketplace. |
