GROG never seen pictures of him actually carving, so do we really know it's not a machine? :D

Are you sure you were carving in the video, or performing surgery on wood?

Thanks Jonesy. I haven't forgotten, I still owe you a club.

It's been a good weekend for my wood supply. My buddy just dropped off all of this, 2" thick black walnut slabs. Gotta love free carving wood.

That's not too bad. GROG might even consider hanging it on GROG' wall if somebody were to buy for it for GROG' birthday coming up in September.

Sick, Andy.

If I'm seeing it right, those are layers on top... Like leaves?

That's sweet. I'm envious of your other shop tool skills... Like getting those weapon blanks so perfect before you add the icing on the cake.

tikimecula posted on 07/30/2013

Lake, The Gata clubs in the Clunie book have a Snail like business end. I have seen 2 of these in person. Its an interesting shape and design.

Cook Islands club coming soon...

Beautiful pieces as always, Andy. R u posting these up somewhere for sale? Its tuff to decide which piece to drop $ on as every piece seems to be abit better than the last. Keep it rollin', Boss.

T
tikimecula posted on 11/13/2013

Watango, Thanks. That piece cracked on me after I cut the shape? I think it will still work, have to wait and see.
Hale, I got busy again? Back at it now.
Freddie, I usually post my Tiki related items for sale here or on Facebook.

tikimecula posted on 11/21/2013

Jeff, Thanks. Yeah that's Hemi the heeler.
Atomic Mess, Thanks.

This one is pretty much done minus a wee bit more sanding and the finish.

The Akatara cracked and didn't take the fix so it's scrap now.

New Project. 3.5" thick slab of Black Walnut.

Have not had a lot of carving time the past month. Have a parent with cancer so it has consumed most of my free time and weekends. Doing better now, surgery in a month so hoping to get out there and carve for the next few weeks?

This one is taking shape.

All right, action.
I always work better from a reference too.
Even if it's a carve I did.

No work today since were getting 12" of snow, so I got more done on this guy.

Rough out is just about done. have some clean up to do and then a lot of sanding.

I had forgotten what a geometric nightmare these are. The carve needs to go so many directions it makes it tough to get it right.
