I need to practice with the chainsaw. Looks like it saves a ton of work on these big guys.

thanks folks, I appreciate it. I've been here every day checking out all the art and progress, I just don't have a lot of time anymore to post a lot due to more hours at work, you know how it is now.... Work should slow down in a couple months and I'm looking forward to getting back to fun stuff and a life.

I don't know how quickly he got it done - but it sure did turn out nice. Its awkward carving something while laying on the ground. Proportions and angles are totally wacked. How did you stand it up?

Hey guys long time no post. I did manage to finish something up.

That last big tiki was a blast to carve.

Aloha was right, the large tiki did take about 8 weeks of odds and ends of time on weekends to finish up. How did it get in place? A backhoe with a chain had to lift it into place.

Here is the slit gong I was working on last winter completed. Somebody saw this piece half completed in my garage and had me finish it up.

Thanks everybody.

Since TC was down the other week, so I went to Eygpt Central.

Here is a new project. Not tiki, but definitely exotic. A mummy case loosely influenced by Tut's. This was a request from my wife, just to make the house a tad bit more different.

Carved from one log, split and hollowed out. 82 inches tall. You can even lay down inside. And it is taking way too much time.

I couldn't stop laughing as I read these quotes!

That is really nice detail in the drum and the mummy. If the missus puts you in there make sure to evoke the Pharaoh principle and take the drum with you

Johnny, This Egyptian piece is Totally Incredible! It doesn't seem to make much difference what you carve, it Always ends up to be an Exceptional carving. The Giant Hawaiian Tiki is Awesome, The PNG drum is WAY Outta sight and the "Mummy Case" is Literally to DIE For (coff,coff). Man you Continue to earn More and More respect!

Hello all,

Been a while, life has kept me very busy! I have been checking things out here as time permits. Lots of good carvings I see have been posted and several new talented members

OK, lets see if I remember how to do this... I will attempt a Ku.

Further removal- I am rusty and making lots of mistakes I should know better, but is has been several years.

A couple fun hours with the chainsaw and the saw rough out is done. I spent a lot of time fixing mistakes and remembering how to do some of the cuts.

And a couple hrs?
