Thanks brothers of the tiki carving tapa cloth. I have been working hard to bring some new wood next weekend for Tiki-Kon here in Portland but I will have to settle for "works in progress" instead. This four foot piece of cedar has gotten most of my attention. [ Edited by: cy 2013-07-07 19:00 ] |

Will, you hit the nail on the head, I actually feel bad about separating these two unfortunate siblings but we all must eventually fly the coop and adjust. Thanks Atomic, I'm happy to see you back and carving cool stuff again. I have been putting things together for the Tiki Kon event Wendy, just a few more details to complete. The best of compliments amate, I always think my best one will be my next. MadDog my first and obvious choice would have been a shark, but decided to try and make one bad-assed fourspot butterfly fish instead. |

Always appreciate the kind thoughts H10. The last two weekends were spent a sellin' as I attended Tiki Kon in Vancouver USA, just across the I5 bridge from me and then the local Gresham Artwalk which is not tiki but still a hoot. [ Edited by: cy 2013-07-28 14:49 ] |

Thanks Jeff, when I did the Tiki Kon event and was supplied with electricity I realized how many carvings I had that are lit up and ran out of plugs on my power strip. So many people commented on the lights that I would recommend you try some and see what happens. Will, nothing immoral going on and one of my bad habits is legal in Washington state so that is close enough for me. I do have fun carving like most of us do. Nice production value Jon, how do you find that stuff? Jesse, Lucy shattered in many pieces, some small and I did not think I could glue and dowel it back together and still have it strong enough to sell in good conscience. I am going to cut her at the waist and have her popping out the top of another piece. Maybe it will turn out better? |

Thanks Poobah, I use a wood tint in a clear varnish that really highlights the beautiful cedar grain. Glad you like pjc, I think it's my best. Will, you are too sharp. I Pledged the piss out of it before my trip to San Diego. Here are a few shots from the event, which was so overwhelming in it's magnitude that I'm still trying to process it all. Thanks so much to Hang10 for "highdrating" me with his flavorful rum concoctions and add Chris as the both of these guys helped me load my stuff back to the van. [ Edited by: cy 2013-08-20 21:05 ] |

Hang10 that's a fine lookin' shirt you have there. "Sparkles" is a great word and compliment TT. My new carving year starts now, after the last vending event of '13. Here is the start of the next season, destination Caliente. [ Edited by: cy 2013-09-05 08:09 ] |

Always appreciate the posi-comments H10. I introduced myself to Bay Park Buzzy at Tiki Oasis and he said something like "You're the guy that stacks stuff" and I never thought of that but you know what - he's right. Here is "Orville", another stacked piece. [ Edited by: cy 2013-09-15 19:22 ] |

Thanks amigos, the wood of the oar was fantastic (I think it's fir) and it kept making me spend more and more time on the detail. I'm glad I have another one. Will, bamboo grows really well here, my neighbor has some thats about 30' tall and an inch thick. Thanks Wendy, with all the work you guys do I don;t know how you have time to check in. |
