Hey Buzzy, who is the lucky one to get the 3 in-process pieces, #142, #143,#144? I'm really loving that #144, it looks like the cannibal piece I picked up this past summer. I posted pictures of it in the collecting tiki forum. Nice work.. |

DAYUUMMM Buzzy.......... I think you must be the Hardest working tiki carver in town. You Really Really make me proud, with your work ethics, your never ending inspiration,, your constant giving of your time and effort to impart all your knowledge to anyone wanting to learn,, your willingness to help out your fellow carvers anytime they need help,, and mostly with your Mountains of tiki carvings. The Awesome Drums, The Chairs The Posters and on some more. Just one request? edit the "Edited by's" from the end of your short post. And the long one too?? :P :o Awesome stuff from an Awesome guy! |

I starte dthis thread in Test a long while ago and couldn;t answer any post or it would be deleted. I have a few years worth of replys to catch up on. In the meantime, I have a few updates to add of some finished pieces that I've done recently. I'll be posting them over the next little while. Buzzy Out! |

Tiki #159 Tahitian Back to Back Tiki Drum (Drum #8) It's drum #8 when I started, but I finished it after I did drum # 13
The three designs on the bell are "hidden" tiki faces. i made them as full bodied tikis as well. they're hard to see, but the designs under the faces are attempts at abstracted tiki bodies. I didn't want them to be too obvious, but to be just a little subtle: And as a bonus, it sounds really good. Kind of like the loudest bongo drum you've ever heard. Buzzy Out! |

Mug #8-ClayCo Joe's Hapawood Lava Tiki Mug-Glazed by Babalu This is my tribute the greatest company in the history of all companies: Coco Joe's It's a one of one hand built slab mug, which sat on the kiln shelf since I sculpted it in January. Babalu got sick of looking at it, so he glazed it for me last week:

Tiki #173 Tahitian tall Leg Tiki Drum (Drum #14) This one started out as a prototype for barstool and it didn't quite work, so I hollowed out the seat and turned it into this drum: I found a great piece of goat head for it: The feet were reinforced with wood dowels so they will not snap off

Wonnaful, wonnaful, wonnaful! As in "full of wonder"! If there ever was a an example for the Horn of Plenty that lies in Polynesian pop in terms of the variety of designs, and the infinite possible variations on them, your work is it. It is proof that copying and repeating stuff over and over is just not necessary. Tiki IS creativity, and you got it. |

Buzzy! Your latest installment of pieces- amazing! As some clown :wink: from TikiMag said, your diversity is your instant ace in the hole. Been watching the progress of #173 Tahitian Tiki Drum and it turned out beautifully. Smart call on the reinforcement should somebody go totally bongo-nuts on it. The "natural" Bob & Moai pendant are awesome. The #169 Kanaloa is stoically cool and the #167 Ku pretty much makes me tear up. The personality in that guy is huge. BRA-VO!!! get back to work... -Andy |

Finally got to see the chairs you carved for Frankie's. If I were only a tad more unscrupulous I would have run out with a couple, though I probably would have tripped cause it's so damn dark in there. Good stuff! |
