Thanks u 2

OK, finished sanding the tomahawk, nice n sharp. I really like the fact that the base grip on the tomahawk is the “tomahawk grip” and the higher grip is more of a “pistol grip” for close encounters.

It needed a base to sit on, so I used an old piece of manzanita wood

Gong is really nice. New walking stick, you have a wonderful collection of those. It will be fun to see what you do with it. Skinning the beast. A big boy for sure. You must be getting bigger arms with all this work.

Isn't there a rule against alcohol and the use of sharp tools?

The Octopus is ambitious. I but it will be terrific.

Those are fun. I still want you to get a woodchipper like Benzart used. I tried it and it carved the hard wood like it was clay. DSC07590DSC07595

The more I use chisels,

The less I use my chain saw.

Wendy. Lol

Will. That’s surprising, considering most of your carvings are 16 feet tall and weigh 4000 pounds.

Great work on both projects. Mo is not a happy looking guy. You should take him to a tiki bar, so he'll feel at home.

Wow wow wow, I had been wondering about suction cups and you just did an expert job of making them happen. This is such a complicated piece. It's such fun to watch you work.

hang10tiki posted on 11/16/2023

Thanks Wendy, 57 hrs in so far

What do you do when you wake up at 3 AM after having a dream where you figured out how to do something that you were not sure how to do?

Grab a coffee and start carving

lol
