That's not weird is it?

Personally I noticed the boots.
Smart, very smart.

I was thinking the same thing but I'm glad Nixxon said it. :)

Will, yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way dropping the chisel on my foot...because of that I missed the best swell in 20 year, and it appears to be somewhat of a permanent injury. And feet are important...

and Nixxon, after reading your post, both Liberace AND the Leather Queen from the Village People (both of whom live around the block from Will) called to say that your comment was NOT weird, and that yes, it is a nice piece of wood...and then they asked if you were hot...lol...

Cy, love the stuff that's goin' on over there in your back yard bro...

so anyhoo, here's some stuff that was finished up recently....

wavehead...

wedding twins...

Wedding tikis look great Jeff!

LOL...glad you cleared that up Jeff :)

Wedding TIKI's look awesome! Very cool stuff. Great to see you expanding your horizons

started this guy yesterday, hoping to finish him this afternoon...

U fast like speedy Gonzalez

finished up this angry pineapple & dropped him off at his new house last night...

this isn't a finished shot, just the last one I got before the sun hit the deck & I ran out of daylight...

Damn bro it looks like you've got quite the operation going on out there...diggin it!

thanks Nixxy...glad you're back from the land of the lost...

so yeah...my boat had to go to the shop today, and the boat club guys asked me to whack this sabal since they know I carve palms, so I left this big stump to do a little tiki for the club...

and took this 8"4 section back to the casa....

Nice

yeah, I'm not letting you have all the big log fun....lol...

that sure is a big'un! excited to see what awaits on the inside

oh it's not rotted out at all....

it's gonna be a super aggro Marquesian double-decker with a cannibal theme...

Teas'n me with all that palm wood again , look'n forward to see'n some shots of the big logs progress.

MAUI WOWIE....

LOVE the attitude on this guy!

Freakin raaaadddd!!! Love it!!

Oh and damn you work FAST!

2 days, from log to stain???

Yep.

Ever since I stopped drinking a bottle of rum every day I've been a lot more productive...lol.

so, Orlando threw this together....made of shaved off palm bark & thrown away bamboo that we fished out of the neighbors garbage pile...

The sheer volume of work you turn out is amazing. I dig your new sign.

Cheers
Grimbo

ok, so I cut a few discs of the bottom of the future dbl decker marq so I could stand him up if & when needed...

and dj's cypress kanaloa is almost done...

and I also need to make some new cheap stuff because I gave most of it away...lol...

ok, I think I'm done cutting.

I'll finish him up & deliver him tomorrow...

well, got this guy done & delivered him to his new owner...

Sick Bro...I really like this style that you do...well done.

Very nice pjc!

what I made today...

well I'm pissed.

this f***ing Echo chainsaw that I paid OVER HALF A GRAND for is a real piece of shit. I should have bought a STIHL or a HUSQVARNA. This thing SUCKS...

just got it back from the shop yesterday, and after 20 minutes of use it's already not running right and back at the shop for a few more days.

I just want to throw things and break stuff right now.

You are seeing red cause you shoulda bought orange brah.

OK, crossing Echo off my list.
carves looking good as always!

Tiki with mood lighting looks so sick.

what I did yesterday....

a little chainsaw roughie....

cedar moai for a very nice lady & repeat customer up in Connecticut...

lots of shaping to do on this guy....and I'm already half considering starting over...

what I made yesterday...

marq, cypress, espresso stain...

Found you for the first time on Gallery and now I'm a fan here too. Wendy

thanks Wendy...

so yeah, skinned the big sabal

what a pain in the ass..

time to clean it up & draw it out.

here comes the HUKILAU MARQUESIAN....

oh yeah, and tomorrow I'm headin' down to Long Boat Key for like 4 or 5 days for a big tiki job at the Mar Vista restaurant...

http://marvista.groupersandwich.com/

stopped by a friend of mine's place on AMI...."old man Ken"....

really cool older dude who make woodie golf carts, has an all original 48 ford with 68,000 miles on it, and he's also a carver.

well anyway, he gave me these killer belled-out base logs....I'm stoked...

Wo rk!:

McTIki

Wo rk!:

Nice gift.

Dude, your tikis ROCK!! GROG like.

Nice work on the Marq !

ok, this dude should be done early tomorrow.

got a couple others in process too. more pics to come...

oh, and my steamy red-headed ex from Bradenton just called me wanting to hang out. I'm so screwed....

That's gonna scare the crap out of lil children.
Nice job.

I've not had much luck with either redheads or exes. Put them in the same package and I can see your concern. The carve is looking good so better stick with that...Just a suggestion :)

wow jeff! you've been busy, is an understatement! I'm way behind on keeping up with everyone. Took me a while to catch up on your thread!!

how's the leg? I see in some pics you're wearing a bandage still.

Ok, so i thought you guys who used echo swore by them?! I have two Husqvarna's. Was pretty happy with them but I definitely don't treat them right. I seem to run the gas mix too rich and that screws 'em up for sure. I also burned up the cover one of them bc it got too hot. Should stopped to clean it out more often! Also had a pulley cord break. So.... i think the verdict is still out.

Great work man!

what's up bro!

you've been gone awhile....hope everything is good...

so yeah, about to cut the tatts on this guy....

and I'm doing one across from the south pier on anna maria island....which is super cool because I surf here sometimes...
