The perception of color is such a miracle and your sky proves it. Hey, the new huge carving...is it a bear trying to split the log in half to escape?

Hi W

Colors were amazing

Good guess, close, it’s a small but heavy stump, I am attempting to make human hands trying to get out of the log

Fingers crossed, I may have put them to close, we will see

In the meantime:

You're gonn'a own this place some day.

I can tell.

Lol

That's a really cool rack for your chisels. Fun tiki you are carving. You are officially now a machine with all you create.

The extra credit you could rack up from this carve is mounting.

How much can you make ?

How much can you stand ?

How much can we take ?

Wendy- Thanks

Will- it’s a good day for extra credits

HO HO HO, here we go!!!

IMG_4449

Will- I have seen the light

That's a lot of progress but remember the saying about alcohol and sharp objects!!! Do you have those special cut resistant gloves?

Merry Christmas 2023. 12 15 23 Christmas at the museum with santa clause (13)

Wendy- awesome photo, thanks for sharing

If the small sharp hand tools are out, the hand holding the “tree wood” is gloved

IMG_4459

Hope everyone had a good XMAS, we had an amazing dinner at a friends house!

Two more magnetic tool racks up (on the right)

Never ends

IMG_4462

What are you gonn'a do with all those chisels ?

I’ll think of something

Or

Use em like chop sticks

IMG_4486

Last 2 big flags cut

IMG_4537

Chillin with da pups last night

IMG_4500IMG_6962IMG_6966IMG_4517

Those are a couple of tuff looking characters.

You should send them to collect any money owed to you.

Will- great idea

Yo Will, Lil more in the tight spaces

IMG_4567

Made a larger flag cross, I think I like the smaller ones better

IMG_4570

So I made 2 more

IMG_4571

Such a perfect comment there's nothing left for me to say. Right on!

Did you paint the tiki steel blue or is that the lighting? Well done no matter what.

Those flags are really super special.

Happy 2024.

Hi W- no paint, just lighting I guess

Flag #3 done

IMG_4615

Sanding sanding sanding

All right, you're dialing it in.

Ya know, when my girl left. I was a Lono.

Will- Hope u had a hallmark moment and sent her a thank you card. Lol

IMG_4703IMG_4716IMG_4729

Ok

I saw an awesome chainsaw carver (Michael Jones) make something kool.

So I decided to try to make one for my next-door neighbor who has to put up with all the noise I make carving. 😆

Hope it works

Let’s try

Back to the heavy pine log

Chisels: IMG_4731

Hint: his last name is FOX 🦊

Time to star up flag #4

IMG_4741IMG_4744IMG_4745

1/2 on, eyes need a break

IMG_4746

More on the pine:

IMG_4752IMG_4753IMG_4755IMG_4756IMG_4757

That was a fun run of photos. Dust is our enemy but it sure is fun to write in. You sure have some great ends for your carving tools. The fox is going to be really cute. Happy New Year.

Thanks Wendy, happy New Year’s to you two as well.

So all 4 flags are done:

IMG_4770

And branded 😝

IMG_4774

My older brother will be here in 4 days, I’ll have him pick the one he wants, I’ll ship two others out to my “bruZins” and keep one for myself.

Lil work on the fox face:

IMG_4773!

Cheers all

50/50 Martini

(Made little 1 oz samples to try different bitters)

1/2 oz monkey gin 1/2 oz dry vermouth 2 dashes bitters

1st one: orange bitters

IMG_4840

Next 3

IMG_4841IMG_4843IMG_4844

I have the genes that make me hate bitter. I've only had one cup of coffee in my life. I only drank it because I was freezing being a saloon girl at a charity event. I ran the Roulet table outside and it was so cold.

Loooove Expresso

IMG_4852

I love deep carving. That's looking fine.

Painting by Gwen Rosewater. It made me think of you being home enjoying your pups.

That’s awesome
