I can't see anything in that picture, but it's probably mold/mildew that accumulates as the last of the water leaves the log. It's because it stays damp enough, long enough for the junk to thrive. It's probably happening in the deepest carved parts? Just take windex, bleach, or some toxic bacteria killing spray to get rid of it. In a couple months it will stop doing that. Try putting it in the sun, too. Also, be aware of this before you seal any future tikis of quality. That water will leech under the finish, get trapped between the finsh and log and mess it all up. Turn black, bubble up, discolor, etc. That's why I sand and finish stuff I carve a couple months later. I did have to learn that the hard way, though...
Nice table, btw.

I have that mold stuff in my shower too...
Buzzy Out!

That my friend is a gorgeous looking table and would look great
anywhere!

Buzzy you just made my day!!!
So all of my tikis need to cure for months? that just sucks
Seeksurf thanks agian for chekin in every word just motivates more!

That table is hands down, frickin' tight! Man, that would look beautiful on MY porch! Your other tiki soldiers look great too, but man, did you see that table? Keep it up man.

Question though, what did you use to paint the tikis on the table top? Artist type paintbrush with stain or was that burnished? Or, is it a secret?

No secrets here. I airbushed it with stian
And thanks sooo much for cheken in !!!!

By the way check out my earlier post
I got some of the same stian on my back fence MAHALO!!!

Finished up my latest and started a painting for the swap.

man you have alot of detail on your pieces. nice work dude!!!! at my rate of work it would take me ten years to do that much detail. hurry up........get back to work:)

Finished piece for the art swap
Thought you guys might like it.

started detail work on the short boy Needs sanding though.

Finished up my short boy, here he goes
Any suggestions about what to do with the top.
Im thinking a smoker with a coloreed light inside?
Also started some signs.

Well done on the short boy. He looks like he could kick some ass there.

Love the Tiki Signs Godz,, and your Tikis are just Mind blowing. I Really am Happy seeing the incredible depth you give your details, Just Amazing.
Excellent stuff for sure!

Nice work there TG. I don't think the short boy needs smoke or lights. The carving stands on it's own merit. Everything you've posted recently in smokin' !!

Seek - He is deffintily an ass kicker thanks!!!
Big Ben - Its always a pleasure hering from you. Im glad that a tru carver such as your self, is diggin my carves. Thank you very much!
Amate- It probaly could stand alone. Thanks !
