Thanks Guys and thanks amate for asking.

Here is the palm that I almost gave up on and took us 3 hours to get on a trailer. The carving I am doing now is from the trip too, I got about 40 ft. of it. I believe it is pine.

Back to carving after a break. It's not the best wood but I am getting there.

Scotty - lookin good. how about a larger view?? It does look like pine. It should carve fairly well if it's green to about 1 yr old. But after that when it's dry may start to tear really easy.

Hey Guys I have a question? Maybe this shouldn't be in this section but I rather enjoy the group of people in the carving threads. I like to venture to the Hula Hut in Austin a couple of times a year to hang out with the tikis. They have a new guy there that's a great addition along with their old tikis. I did not see any name on him and the manager had no clue where he was from either. He looks like the Trader Vics Dallas Tiki somewhat but on a smaller scale. Just interested in the orgin of this guy, thanks.

Can't help you with the artist of that carving. I was not aware of the Hula Hut but now I'll have to check it out.

Yes, it is my most favorite place. I love Austin but I get more excited going to The Hula Hut more than anything. It is worth the trip every time.

I am trying to get back into the groove again slowly. Here is something I have been working on here and there. Some more info about me - I am finally going to Hawaii next week, pretty stoked about it.

Looks like you've gone through some sand paper on that one. Does he have a head? :) Have fun on your trip. :D

I am working my way up to the head.I actually like the way it sands but it is not as carve friendly.

I am almost done with this one.I am happy with the way its coming out.

Is that the native East Texxas Red Cedar? Our hill country Mountain Cedar has lots of unpleasant surprises even though it is beautifully grained.

I picked it up in North East Texas at a saw mill.

Nice work!

Thanks Rugbymatt!
