Claq50 Two carves Finished. 04/21/11

Thanks,
Ive been wanting to do some bigger work but im having a tough time finding big enough logs. Ive had a ton of big queens come my way, but they all rot out before I can get any work done on them. So for now im just keeping up the practice with these smaller ones.

Those two are SIIIICK!!! Def your best work so far...its really cool to see so much improvement with each new piece...keep it up!

lookin' good!

Now that looks like a challenging carve! Way to pull it off.

Sic wave top Claq! I like these....I don't know why, but, I do.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I did both of these tikis at the same time, they went pretty fast. I finally got a draw knife this week and its definitly one of my better investments. Cuts the log prep time way down. I just shaved three logs yesturday in about 30 min. Hope to have some new work up soon.

Just got another 6 logs, im up to about 15 now so i got my work cut out for me.

Hi, fellow West Palmian/tiki carver! It's an impressive collection of work you have! I especially like the last two and that 6 footer, ...that thing is awesome!

Thanks for checking out my work. Where in west palm are ya? I'm out in royal palm beach. I just got around to debarking and sanding 6 logs. Gonna start carving tomorrow.

That's cool! I'm right over in Wellington! How do you find logs? I mostly find mine while driving around town. I'm actually looking forward to hurricane season... probably rent a chainsaw and a U-haul! haha Stock up for the winter!

I grew up in Wellington. Small world. I pretty much do the same, that cold snap we had during the winter produced a few good logs. My other hook up is through a landscape company, every now and then they can get me a good assortment.

Yeah? Me, too! Class of 96' Just moved back to the area about 3 years ago. A very small world indeed! I just finished a tiki, but it's a mess (stain-wise)...not sure how I'm going to save it. I have a few small logs laying around, but I think I'm going to hold off a bit...in hopes off finding a 6+ footer.

Ive just finished four new carves, just waiting to seal. I only have pics of the first two right now but ill post pics of the other two tomorrow. enjoy.
