Are you trying to out-carve Buzzy? :lol: I was bored at work on a Sunday so I ventured into the Carving section, looks good Bill I say you raft the truck over to that island and do some serious rockcrawling :o I love Big Bear in the summer but the winter's a bit cold for my thin desert blood. |

Another weekend, another weekend update! I've been working on this one all week, picking away at it and trying to find my direction. It was inspired by the last tiki in my post above, with the camera angle from the ground looking to the sky. I thought why not make just the top half of a tiki, kind of like a bust. So it's a Marq, but with slight hints of Easter Island, and the Sphinx! (to me) Pepsi can for scale. Hope to finish it tomorrow. |

Cool Marq bust! Okay, I got the Sphinx reference with the arms out front like a pooch. And Easter Island I'm guessing because it looks half buried? I saw a photo one time where they excavated one of the heads and it actually had a full body carved in stone stone below which was buried at some point in the quarry. Am I right? That's all I got! |

Many thanks, MHH, Thomas, AA, MDM, and Benz! Yes Aaron, you're right about the Moai reference, that and the lean this piece has. So I finished it up today, check it out! And together with the other one, which I detailed slightly. |

Mad Dog, yeah, that's my new custom mix Pepsi stain! :lol: Speaking of something different, there was no work at my job today, so I was feeling stressed and poor. What better motivation to try something different! Per usual, I'll be adding nipples on. Not enough dimension on the log. My new favorite camera angle. :wink: There may not be work tomorrow either, so good chance I'll finish. :roll: |

FINALLY started a tiki, - the first since Oasis! He's holding a paddle. It's a commision for the local outrigger club, for the head coach. I'll be carving his name into it, and the club name. |
