Carvings from Frog Island Tikis

Thanks H-10 and hil, I love where I live and it is the beauty of Oregon that brought me here from the San Fernando Valley in 1976.
An example is this view of Mt. Hood and the Sandy River a few miles from my home and on the way to recycle glass at the Sandy Transfer Station.

But enough of the travel log, I finished this mahogany piece. First a clear coat of varnish, then a medium brown with red into the deep recesses followed by a dark walnut and another clear coat.

A found, home-made paddle that I thought needed a good carving. I would guess it was ash as it was very light colored and hard, but I stained it with an amber, mahogany, and dark walnut and added red and straw colored accents.



I cut a six foot tall cedar log in half because my 66 year old body could not move the whole thing.

It will have a cannibal theme which is always fun.

Funny you're working on mahogany too.
Carves like a dream & finishes real nice.
Pleasure to work on.
It all looks good.

Awesome! Do I see a fire?

True Will, it would be nice if it grew in my yard. No fires MDM, just strange lighting that day.

This cedar log is getting a bit closer to paint.

In spite of the end of the world as we know it I still find time.


This milled cedar piece got a bit of extra color.

Green, blue. and yellow.


A medium brown dye with green.

A clear coat is next.
Some deep cuts.

Such amazing unique work. I might steal the fish in kelp for a future project.

I’m still posting photos for CY

evidently his 1977 computer is a little out of date
