Haha very cool! I know it has nothing to do with tiki but, I sense a little Nosferatu vibe on this guy (maybe because Halloween is coming?) :) |

I can't say if he regrets summer's end, needs a toilet break, or needs a refreshing drink. But I do feel some empathy towards him...I walk around work most days with that same exprssion on my face because I didn't get enough carving done during the summer. Can't wait to see him finished and stained up! :D |

Wow, I really enjoyed hopping around your thread. Page one is terrific. Sorry for your broken legs. Our largest tiki was found broken in half. It's now put together with metal pipes, wood glue and wood filler. Painted it looks fine. Wendy |

Conga,,, Yes it Shows!! Those extra coats with sanding between make All the difference in the world.. Try one with 5 or 6 coats,, Sanded between of course, then you really see it instead of "Almost" |

Great new stuff. Love the dog. The mask is kinda interesting.... are you planning on cutting it off from the main block of wood? Or are you hollowing out the block of wood behind it? |

Here's a little update on the guy...not really sure where it's headed at this Many thanks Clarita (I'm glad my work makes you smile, you need to smile) Hodad and Not sure how to take your comment Teakey, if it's a compliment I graciously accept. If it's a "dig", which I suspect it is based on our history, then I accept that as well. |
