WP Watango productions Member Melb,Australia. Joined: Mar 20, 2008 Posts: 507	WP Watango productions Posted posted on Wed, May 9, 2012 12:54 AM Capt'n-Yep i sure do like a beer or two towards the end of a days carv'n,learnt the hard way that its not real wise to have to many whilst work'n as Ive gone out to the shed a couple of times to find some wacky look'n abstract mess which I'm sure I probably thought was rad the day before.:) Atomic mess,Amate,surf'ntiki and Harro-thanks guys. Been busy get'n ready for friday nights open'n so not much progress on the KU but heres a few pics of where he's at. Thought throw this in for Jeff,my trusty 50's Malvern star cheers Watango
CJ Captain Jack Tiki Socialite Neotsu, OR and Sun City, AZ Joined: May 01, 2010 Posts: 360	CJ Captain Jack Posted posted on Wed, May 9, 2012 7:35 AM Looks good! What chisel/gouge do you use to get your texture? .... and yea, I've been known to throw back a few brews while carving as well! But after a sliced finger or two, I have learned to drop the chisels after a few and do other tasks .... like sanding! Less harmful to the fingers!

Here's some shots of the finished Ku,the log had a couple of nasty knots in the back which gave me grief so the head dress is a little rough in a few spots. Cheers Watango
