Hey Mooney,

My grandfather is in PSL-west & I visit somewhat frequently.

Do you have a shop over in Jensen? Always looking for stuff to do & people to see when I'm over visiting gramps!

Tiki Hut finished! Lots of time to

build this tiki hut but alot of fun doing it as well! Now time to puor the drinks!!!! The Cedar bar top going down.

Bar top sanded waiting for clear coat.

and final clear coat on cedar bar top. Tiki Time!!!!

Moonster! That is beeeeee-autifulllllll !!
That cedar is gorgeous...love it, love it. Where did ya get those planks anyway?

Surfintiki glad you like it. The wood was an old log that I slabed out then plained out to make the pieces. It's florida cedar and Your right the grain is beautiful! A boat builder told me how they seal em and it's pretty much bomb proof sealing method. Carved a little mermaid for the top. Anyhow hope your gettin some surf up there. thanks for the nice words my friend.
Oh ya Finished the Fender Guitar carve and will post soon.

Wall mask Surf scene. Shipped north! A few more carvings to post coming soon.


Waves are hollowed out and LED light for backround light

Mooney, Thats just awesome. I love your carves.

Any more guitar pics?

Mahalo SDshirtman,Here are some pics of a commission I finished. They wanted a wedding Tiki with family in it, so I carved 3 sea turtles between both tikis and carved their names in Hawaiian in them. Another FUN commish to do! Hope ya like it.

Ok I've had the pic for a while and finaly posting them (sorry) I finished the carve ,and the customer has a friend that he wants to stain n clear so these pics are the Finished carve for me on the Fender Guitar. I hope you like and if you drive by or stop by Mahalo for lookin Aloha, Mooney
1st pic over view of left of the guitar,and if you look into the wave you can see the small palm trees.I was trying to make them look like trees in the backround and get ride of those 2 blank spaces.Hard to see but the flowers wrap around the side of the guitar and around part of the bottom.
side shot so you can see some of the levels od depth I was trying so I could get seperation from each part of the carving.

Somehow missed this thread. Fantastic carving Mooney!

love the guitar i want to try that now thats incredible. You could resin cover the rest to give the guitar back its shape and keep any one from breaking it.
