Well, two months since I posted! I am moved into my new place, although not the horse ranch I mentioned above. It's just as good, though. Had a chop here the first weekend of January, maybe another one in Feb? And I've been working on this one for a few days. |

Nice, you have that style down. A Marq? Maybe a Marci? |

Bill, I don't usually hang out here in the hacker's area but I saw your name on the top of the list and thought I'd check out what you've been up to. The Brown-Breasted Borneo Babe you were working on at the Feb Chop turned out great! And I love the way you've made designs on your new one with the stain. Kinda like some sort of resist/batik technique. |

MDMike, you need to stop into the "hackers'" section more often. In fact, I predict you will someday have a thread in here! Kinny, thanks! But I was just trying to emulate you! For those who missed it, Ken decorated one of my carvings last year, using this same white stain: Thomas, thanks, you been choppin? Post up! Dave, that jungle is in my back yard. :wink: Benz, no more gaps for a while! Hilda, thanks! See you on the 3rd? Conga, how about fez monkeys with tits!?! Pushin' the Tiki envelope! :lol: Fow anyone who doesn't check the Marketplace forum, look through this thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=31985&forum=12&34 |

"white is not a color"...oh, sooo true, however, using white/cream next to dark brown is like putting orange next to blue, or yellow next to purple. Nice grouping Bill. Those 2-3 footers will ship well too. [ Edited by: Babalu 2009-04-26 15:36 ] |

Luv the tribal patterns. What is the white stain you guys are using? Like a white deck stain or white wash? Are you finding it difficult to stain white over brown? Thanks! |
