Thanks for the interaction MDM, hil, BT, I'm pleased that there are still die hards that visit this site which really got me into tiki culture. Hang 10 I was on vacation and have been imbibing but still have managed a bit of carving. |

LOVING that cedar log! That's got to smell great while you're slowly freeing the tiki gods from their wooden prison. |

Thanks Sandbartender, I love the smell of cedar in the morning. Hang 10 and Will, this was my first pendant and am happy I picked up more small pieces as it was fun and I could do it in one sitting rather than taking a month like most of the bigger ones take. |

Thanks guys, Will I used an xacto blade on the first two, and a Dremel first, then a hook knife for the rest. They are tough on my arthritic hands to hold and carve but I am having fun with them. My dream would be to attend one of your Hukilau classes, maybe some day! |

Hey Chris, the crack you worked around in your Powder tiki brought up a question I've always wondered about. If you made a cut into a log, essentially creating a crack, wouldn't take the stress off a drying log reducing splits through the carved areas? |

Hey tikicoma nice to see you are still browsing TC. Many years ago I tried that on a cedar log, but found that it did not help as it continued to crack in the same spot only deeper. I then figured I could put a v shaped wedge into the now very large split, but the wedge split also. I cut the wedge out, making an even larger gap and installed a nice walnut, harder wedge figuring that would do it, but it ended up splitting apart again in an unnatural area outside the wedge which looked terrible. I then doused the tiki with lighter fluid and roasted smores over the fire. As time has gone on I have learned to embrace the cracks as "character" and "patina" and let them go as they will. I have never had a cedar log split in half even after 20 years unpainted in my yard. Crazy Al once told me that cracking is the wood releasing evil spirits. |

Thanks Chris... I've always wondered. I still check out TC at least once a day I just don't post much.. especially since my laptop died half a year ago, have a new one now but I still haven't gotten to transfer my old files to my new one. Oh! And that Powder tiki is awesome! [ Edited by: tikicoma 2019-10-18 21:41 ] |

Thanks Will, it has been a chippy, craggy, grainy, dry old piece of cedar but it has been great to carve. I'm happy a have quite a few left, here is what it looks like on the back. |
