Wow! Hack is really scary! The wood you made Spot-Pine out of looks like Eucalyptus. Really hard and has a lot of splits? It gets good detail though. Keep posting, Johnny. They're looking good! |

Jab, You didn't go for an easy start with your first two pieces of wood did you? They looked pretty tough to carve a tiki theme into but you did it! Really nice blend of the wood into form. You seem to have a real talent fitting your design into the flow of the wood. That usually takes years of practice. What stain did you use on the second wood carving? Outstanding M8. I like the stone Moai also. You took carving chisels to cement? That took some guts. Anyway, welcome to TC. You have a wonderful start and keep up the great carvings. |

Damn jab, Theres some Awesome tikis hanging out at your place, I suppose you carved them all? Of course I Know you did and Excellent works too, you are really raising he bar there. This KU, with his deep detail is the ruler of the yard. maybe he can quiet that mad drummer down a bit? |

Thanks BenZ!! After staining the Ku with some English Chestnut and some ebony stain, It looked a bit too dark to me. so I sanded it to make it look more lighter with highlights. Put some finish on the "Tribute To Tiki Bob" |

The real Jab! That's funny! I was just thinking about you today when I saw a roll of black bamboo fencing in that fence company's free box down on Morena. I was going to call you about it but figured there'd probably be bugs in it or something. Buzzy Out! |
