Love this carve like i have said before. You had me thinking the other night of ideas of this nature. Also if you ever did make it to the Tiki Bog I would let you pass out on the RV couch.

T Tobor64 Grand Member (1 year) Burbank, CA. Joined: Jul 13, 2009 Posts: 402	T Tobor64 Posted posted on Wed, Jul 22, 2009 9:07 PM That looks amazing! Great detail on the suction cups & the strategically placed darker wood grain/knot hole really sends this piece over the top.
B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Thu, Jul 23, 2009 6:38 AM Excellent piece Surfin, you Definitely went Above and Beyond with the sanding. You really made the Octopus look soft and Slimy. This gives new meaning to "Stuck on You" and if you have never had nightmares about giant Octopi then you will after looking at this poor guy awhile. I can imagine the hidden part of the tiki is blistered with welts from those powerful sucker cups you did so well showing us. Oh Yeah, Beautiful piece of wood and you even made it More so!

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Thu, Jul 23, 2009 11:28 AM EXCELLENT!! IMHO - you're not done! This piece is screaming out for a little bit of paint. I imagine that when you look at this under normal light it looks a bit flat. Perhaps adding a slight petina or maybe even some color. Not much - just enough to highlight the beautiful wood grain. Whatever you do, DO NOT coat this in thick layer of opaque paint! Its good but could be even better!!

C Clarita Member BA Arg Joined: Sep 26, 2006 Posts: 1301	C Clarita Posted posted on Sun, Sep 27, 2009 11:42 AM cool pendants! i've noticed a decreasing in the last few month from the surfing guys, except for lake maybe. it's just me or there's a lot of surfin' in this time of the year, or something?..
S surfintiki Member S. Chatham, MA Joined: Sep 30, 2004 Posts: 1576	S surfintiki Posted posted on Sun, Sep 27, 2009 12:46 PM Hey Clarita, YOU'RE not out SURFIN? Jeeez! :) You say less stuff from the surfers, except Lake??? Because Dave is ON a LAKE, there's no surf to miss!!! HA HA HA!! Dave knows I kid!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah, but true. Any surfer will tell ya it's hard to find time. Surf can pop up anytime, and all the driving all over the place to find the best spot for the swell. It's hard sometimes, but you can find a balance there somehow. MY problem is, I'm back playing in a band again. Gigging, practice, studio. PLUS full time job a half hour away from home. There's just no time to do any extras anymore. Hey, remember the song by the Fathoms, "dark secret"? Here's a vid of me doing that song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J4LTrqEvIU&feature=channel_page Thanks fer stoppin by! Getting ready to glue in the Pau inlays....hmmmm what glue to use. Last time I used epoxy, and the shell cracked. Not sure if due to the heating up with epoxy. Could try super glue, I hear that works.
T TikiMango Member Satellite Beach, FL Joined: Jun 17, 2008 Posts: 798	T TikiMango Posted posted on Sun, Sep 27, 2009 1:18 PM Looking forward to seeing that inlay inlaid. The superglue works, but if you can find it, the gel type works much better.
S surfintiki Member S. Chatham, MA Joined: Sep 30, 2004 Posts: 1576	S surfintiki Posted posted on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 9:39 AM Mango- I went with the Epoxy again, worked real nice this time. I'll get photos up when I can. (day off, and surf's up!!!)
