I carved this guy about 6 months ago. I waited to put on a finish so he could dry a lil more. He's lighter, has a finish & he's done. I will refrain from commenting on him holding his lil Conch like he's proud of it, or not. |

Looks great as always! What kind of palm logs are you carving there? Sabal? Mexican fan? |

Prikli Pear, I'm glad you asked that. They are Sabal / Cabbage Palm. That is our Florida state palm. Back in December I offered to cut down a neighbors dead palm for free providing I could have it. He wondered what the catch was but had no problem with that. He didn't know I carve. So, when I got it home I cut it into 3 logs & them in half. I started carving them in January when T.C. was still down so I never posted the first two I carved. Here's the first 2 you missed.
And the group shot

For my next project: These will be 2-80in Marcrazyen carves that will go around steel poles between the floor & a header beam. So first I cut the logs into 1/2 & then down to 80 in. That took 14 ass busting hours to half them, cut the length & clean them up to start the carve. But it's a good start.

It may take longer to set these guys up to carve than the carving it's self. Here's how were gonn'a keep them off the ground & level them.
Here's how were gonn'a cap them off up top & flush them to the header beam.

Thank you Wendy, stop by any time. With a lil down time on my Marcrazean pole project I knocked out a frond. He still needs a finish but he's too wet, & he gets to hold a shell. [ Edited by Will carve on 2022-12-23 07:52:13 ] |

I didn't see it coming. So as I was showing my latest & greatest off yesterday, a young novices said, "you know those are birds, not just a headdress, right?" You could see the confetti shoot out of the top of my head. I hope I got it right now. [ Edited by Will carve on 2023-02-23 06:55:29 ] |

Do you think Frankies would like those? So I have those 2 palm logs form that failed Marcrazian project. They are cut in 1/2. & cleaned up. I don't feel like reinventing the wheel so I'm looking at some of my favorite pendants over the years & making large wall hanging guys form them. There 4 halves & I can get 3 out of each so this could take a while to use them up. Here's the first. May be I should hang them from a rope like a pendant.

Look what showed up in my mailbox!!!!!! A surprise gift from Will!
Amazing piece of art. 3 feet tall, almost a foot wide. A dude with giant headdress on top and three flipflop guys from the ancient Hawaiian Cirque du Soleil on the bottom. Then details like the shell he's holding, the cheetah print mounting plaque, the contrasting stain, and ropework. Clearly the work of a master. THANK YOU WILL!!!!! And Phineas approves |
