Hang10Tiki stuff

Lol

Well, that was unexpected! I love ferrets and animals like them. Looks very cute. Time for a walk and photos. How is the rain in LV?

Wendy- lots n lots of rain

So my brother was in town for a week, lots of food, beer, food n cocktails

So no woodworking for a week

While he was here he bought himself a watch from Tag Heuer

So

Time to make him a lil something for his bookshelf

It all starts with a lil piece of walnut I’ve had for years

Here we go:

Nice! When I looked at the second pic my eyes lied to me and told me the letters were raised instead of recessed!

Mike- lol, that would be much harder, :-)

Next:

This piece of wood gave me the finger!!!

You gonn'a give someone the finger?

Is that the fickle finger of fate.

It looks good.

Where you gonn'a put it?

I don't get it.

After you read this I hope I don't get it.

Will- a necklace with attitude, if needed!!!

It only got sucked up into the vacuum once, lol

Oh my, Dan as an X-ray technologist had an X-rated photo that would go perfectly with your post. However, I don't want to get kicked off of here. You sure keep us on our "toes" with your posts.

Now that you have painted toenails and fingernails are you doing your wife's? Did you do anything special for her birthday?

Wendy. Lol. Not doing her nails. Dinner and drinks for wife’s BDAY!!!

Yo Will- thought of u as I was working up a sweat. My last piece of palm, found 3 a long time ago, 1st one had some bad areas, 2nd piece was trash, hope this one is ok.

Love the finger! LOL How is that draw knife on palm? Tell Jonelle that Phineas said Happy birthday!

Mike- works well when sharp, half way done “skinning it”. Still need to take the rest of the light outer ring off:

Spousal unit said “thanks Mike”

Working on a down draft box

Hope to finish tomorrow

I've come to carve thru the bark on palm. What lil bark is left is EZ to remove & when I put the finish on it what bark is still left adds to the over all look.

Sir, That’s why you are the master

Holey hole batman. That looks like it really sucks.

With all those top holes is this a Menehune Trap?

Will- yup, it sucks

Wendy- I looked inside, no dusty Menehunes to be found

Made another one of these:

Those are really pretty and useful. Drinks taste better when they start in one of your creations.

:-)

Didn’t like the final finish on this, so I sanded it up to 3000 grit, much better

Started another Hei Tiki

I don't know why they are a nightmare tiki, I think they are very cute.

W- I think so too

Not what I expected but done. Sometimes poplar wood doesn’t play nice.

Are you talking about the green color? It's fun that if you just look at the bottom half there's another tiki looking face! Love the orange eyes.

The wood was a bit “chippy” n dry

Hard to carve any detail

Ah, no fun when that happens.

Wendy u r correct

So I’ve had a small piece of iron wood for years, no idea what to make since this is so hard. My brother likes to do puzzles so I had an idea. Lil something for his bookshelf.

Puzzling isn’t it?

[ Edited by hang10tiki on 2023-02-01 18:14:19 ]

So after the puzzle piece, I decided I want a Sasquatch crossing sign in my garage

Big foot, the champion of social distancing.

Lol

Here comes the smoke:

Are you carving the Big Foot or using poker work burning?

[ Edited by TIKIGIKI on 2023-02-01 20:05:03 ]

That puzzle requires thought, this way or that! I sure can recognize Big Foot. My idea of Heaven is that any question we can think of is answered with the truth. Is there a real Big Foot would be one.

TG- wood burning

Wendy- that would be cool

I LOVE him. The fur texture looks terrific. I'm glad you thought of him.

Thanks Wendy,

My garage still smells like burning wood

Lol

Next:

Oh my!

Is this gonn'a be the self portrait you promised us?

No, it’s some Tiki God in Florida, I can’t remember his name maybe I WILL remember eventually

Surely that's Tangaroa? Who is always correctly represented with genitalia. To represent him without would be/is an insult to the God himself.

I think I've heard the same said about Jon. ya know, about the god statice.

Lol

It would make a great direction sign to the Men's Room in any Tiki Bar! Just follow the arrow!
