Yah you think it's big. I was trying to get a dead 40 ft. palm tree but the guy who owned it wanted 1,000 clams to haul it from Merced to Turlock. Dealbreaker. Anyone know of a mountain I can carve? Damn we should carve the moon. Look thru a telescope and see Ku looking back.

Wondering if I should paint outside turtle with royal blue, black, white or? Not sure yet. Your suggestions please. I'll probably seal it with epoxy.

Absolutely COOL Stuff Digger, probably no need to color or stain as the wood grain will come avive with the Poly. Try it out on the bottom first to get it right!

Thanks Vamp. Finally decided to burn, not stain this one. Already have an interested buyer. That was quick.

jt love the skull now whats new?

JT
Jungle Trader posted on 02/21/2011

Here's what's new. Thanks for asking Ken. First, Mr. PotatoHead. My grandson (2 years old) and I collaborated on this one. 2nd, a rootball that was nearly stolen from Minnie's. Third, a horsehead unfinished. Mahalo podnah!

Lake Surfer posted on 02/22/2011

The horse is really cool Vic! Looking great!

Mr. Potato Head is great also, not to mention the rootball!

As much as I enjoy tiki work, branching out into other subjects in wood is a nice change of pace. I've found that it actually improves my tiki work in the long run, as I learn other woodcarving techniques on different subjects.

I saw you mention doing Southwest/Cowboy carving. I think that would be a fun subject that would sell by you. Here in the Midwest, its all bears and eagles, subjects that don't hold my attention at all.

JT
Jungle Trader posted on 02/22/2011

Spot on Dave. Animals are much more difficult to carve. I'm trying not to limit myself. Thanks!

It's not the French explorers so much, it's the British that give me indigestion. What with all that Pip and Squeek.

JT
Jungle Trader posted on 11/15/2011

uhhm, that would be "Bubble and Squeak". Chewin' on da Brits. Original design by Jungle Trader.

Awesome carves, JT you are the master of the big suckas! That last one totally looks like he's got a few explorers/missionaries boiling up for dinner. Love the expression and the root ball is fantastic!

By the way...in the first pic, what's that crazy monster chain-saw looking tool? it looks like it can really tear some wood apart!
