Got a start anyway. It will be hard-sided slab construction so the pieces have to dry to leather hard then get up together |

I can only imagine the mantra you are repeating in your enlightened mind MadDog. I have been derelict in commenting on this thread but am so impressed with the great painting, carving, ceramics, etc. going on! I have my idea down and will post a sketch soon. |

"Go with what you know" I needed something to hold up the roof while it hardens. So I made this Styrofom block. Good thing I had some Styrofoam and tools laying around :D

My original plan of a carved swizzle stick from the Kon Tiki Chicago gave way to this idea after I posted some carved floats on FB and got great comments from MadDog and danlovestikis. The middle cedar Columbia River net float has lettering from their matchbook cover while the top and bottom are from a couple o' tikis that were located within the joint. Cork was added in between for buoyancy. I will be using green as the main color to match the interior, so I dyed some 1/2 inch yellow and black rope I had kicking around to tie it all together. Thanks to H10 for providing me with the necessary research material, will be finishing this weekend. [ Edited by: cy 2017-06-08 20:42 ] |

cy, looks great! (I was a fan of those posts, too, can't wait to see them in person in August)! Man, that's going to be cool. Better send this one to San Diego, or just bring it to Oasis so we can Swamp in person. :) :wink: Mike, can't wait to see your piece, looks great already and can only imagine more cool stuff happening! Jon, thanks for the photoshop work, I've been slammed with work (and opening new locations), so glad I actually finished my piece early for once! |

Thanks guys :D Yes, Jon, about 20 kg. I'm hoping it will be lighter when it dries :lol: Now it gets hairy! The top has dried enough to support itself and the Styrofoam block is removed. Now to score & slip the pieces and put them together.

Got it all stuck together, will need to put some clay coils in the joints from behind once it dries some more and still need to make a bottom for it. Because I made the slabs so thick, I was able to do some deep texturing for the thatch.
Time to wrap it and let it rest for a while. Headed out of town for the weekend so I probably won't get much else done for a few days. Time to celebrate our wedding anniversary - the big THREE. No, not the big three-oh, just the big three. :lol: |

Wowowowowowoowowoowowoowo!!! That is not at all like I envisioned. You did a whole building. I sure hope it makes it though drying and the kiln. It is just stunning. Congratulations on the BIG 3. We wish you many many more. Love, Dan and Wendy |
