Nice work Jon.

Thank you Hilt

Piece of balsa wood
Is this really wood?
Lol
It kept wanting to float away
:)

He keeps stopping for a smoke

Excellent Jon!

Thanks CY
Still can get use to how soft balsa is
Final step
Made him a necklace

Cheers

Cool stuff. Love that necklace. I'm surprised you don't post the steps for that.

Excellent Jon. I tried some balsa recently but I didn't get the smooth results that you did. I found it to be prone to tearing. Good job!

Hamo- thanks Bruddah
Necklace was just a shark tooth,
bunch of beads and that clear necklace material that stretches.

BigT- thanks my man
I know what ya mean
It’s definitely a “with the grain” sensitive wood.
And eats a ton of sandpaper

Cheers

OHAI wood

aka Monkey Pod: Albizia saman

Albizia saman is known under a wide
range of common names, such as Saman,
Rain Tree or Monkey Pod.
It is often placed in the genus Samanea.
This legume tree is native to the
mainland neotropics, from Mexico south to
Peru and Brazil, but has been
widely introduced to South and
Southeast Asia, as well as the Pacific islands,
including Hawaii

Worst sound ever, slurp of an empty tiki mug through my straw!!!

What a fun wood lesson. Cool head. Did the wood speak to you or did you buy it for what you were already thinking of carving?

Wendy

He was yelling at me

:)

You are improving Jonny and starting to know your tools!

Grassy ass CY

Clusia rosea, the autograph tree, copey,
balsam apple, pitch-apple, and scotch attorney,
is a tropical and sub-tropical plant species
in the genus Clusia.

It is a hemiepiphyte, that is,
it grows as an epiphyte on
rocks or other trees at the start
of its life and resembles a strangling fig (Ficus).
Just as a strangling fig it overgrows
and strangles its host tree with its many aerial roots.

You're rockin' the Monkey Pod but you might want to fumigate that Autograph wood! :lol:

:)
The holes are empty
:)

Ready for gloss

Dig!

It's funny, I saw the skull in the original wood block, but for a second there I thought he was gonna turn into Darth Vader:

I also like the sumo-stance guys! You're getting really good at this.

(P.S. we're running away to Frankie's for the Weekend, will keep an eye out for you!)

Keep carving like that &
I'm gonna want your autograph.

Perfect wood for the skull, looks great H10!

Bam- funny, I knew you were going to say “Darth”
You Star Wars fan :)
But, I thought the same thing :)
Dang, I’ll miss ya at Frankie’s this weekend
Work always getting in the way

Will- good 1 Bruddah

CY- yup, another kool piece of Hawaiian wood

Thanks for the looks
Cheers
