Wow, you turned the page! OK, when Dan and I first married we loved London Broil. Have you done that yet? So far what is the best cut of meat that you have prepared? Also, who is doing it best, you or a restaurant?

No LB yet

Iโ€™ve been making most at home

My favorite is the ribeye

Went scorpion hunting, only one lil tiny tiny one

After roasting you can eat it. Did you? If you only found one then you must be ridding your home of these dangerous critters.

Yup. Ate it. Noooooooooo.

Ok, hereโ€™s some scrap wood:

Letโ€™s try something new

Oxtail

Boil, simmer for three hours, Grill, salt n eat!!!

IMG_3737IMG_3759IMG_3760IMG_3763IMG_3765IMG_3766

Wow. Awesome

You are so much fun to know! My sister made oxtail soup and her family really enjoyed it. The Horney Chief/Vampire Chief is very cool. Very scary too. I'd rather run into a scorpion in the night than this guy.

๐Ÿ˜†

Letโ€™s get him stained

Started with his hair

IMG_3777

Are you painting rather than staining to keep it from spreading?

Stain

Iโ€™m stopping a few millimeters away from the edge so it can bleed a little without going past where I need it to stop and then I take a brush thatโ€™s almost dry to get near the end, that technique works

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

IMG_3778

Just need to glue the horns on !!!

Wow that turned out scary. You need to use a bit of black paint near the cheeks. Those teeth are so sharp! He's one to keep you awake at night.

Aloha W

I think Iโ€™ll just keep the skull color free, like bone

Horns glued on yesterday

He should be ready for glamour shots today, after work.

Pre work ritual: coffee and and hour of so of reading

Cheers

Good books. Not the cheeks, just the hair close to the cheeks. I guess I'm asking you to just get a bit closer with the black. Using paint there's no worries.

Ohhhh, I see ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Will do

IMG_3833

Dan and I are so much alike. We both like the guy in the middle the most even though they are all great. That's a very fun collection. I am very happy that I kept some of my art when I decided to retire. It's fun to show guests what you have accomplished.

Keep up the good work.

Started a sign at 4am for one of my brothers

IMG_3835

(Made myself one a while back)

IMG_3873

While painting it this song came on

Check out the album art

Crazy right

I love coincidences and that was a real good one! Wow you have been working hard. I like the Evil signs. He'll be really happy. What do you call the guy with the tall hat? What do you call the critter who stole your cheese? Both are cute. Any more meat photos?

Wendy- I didnโ€™t name them

๐Ÿค”

Lil guy with a big hat and a hungry mouse

I have a good friend in LA, heโ€™s a huge Dodger fan, his wife reached out to me for a carving for him

โœ…

IMG_4150

That's a wonderful keepsake for a Doger's fan. She's going to be so happy and he'll be ecstatic.

Thank you Wendy

Well, Iโ€™ve been working on this guy just a little bit here and there forever, finally decided to finish it

IMG_4182IMG_4183

Took a nice walk after carving

IMG_4186IMG_4187IMG_4188IMG_4189

Love those wonkey eyes! He's really terrific. One of my favorites.

Beautiful colors on those flowers.

Either you are on vacation or one of those scorpions got you! Or maybe a cow got revenge. Looking forward to your return to posting.

Aloha Wendy, yup, quick get away to see my bros in Pittsburgh

Needless to say, off the diet for 4 days.

Good looking family. Fun to see your flag on the wall. That's a keck of a lot of beer! Glad you were having a fun visit.

Great visit. Would love to relocate and get the band back together

Maybe someday

Started a 2 piece snowman for the wife:

IMG_4829

Lots of sanding next!!!

[ Edited by hang10tiki on 2025-11-21 07:34:47 ]

Being with family is wonderful. I just booked 2 vacations to visit family in 2026.

That's going to be a fun snowman. You can do multiple face expressions.

Sounds fun

No faces on this 1

IMG_4887

No snow either!!!

Nope

Just ribeye. ๐Ÿ˜†

[ Edited by hang10tiki on 2025-11-23 14:42:22 ]

Daily walks for us too. I can't figure out what you are making. However, you have "branched" out and do all kinds of art. I'm glad you are home and back to work. Looked like a great trip.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

A lighthouse ( I hope, lol)

Unique idea!

IMG_5008

Wow that turned out to be special. I like it a lot. You really are an artist.

Nope

Just a guy having fun

Next:

Looks like a cute dinosaur or a wrench!

Hopefully time will tell

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, now start cooking those steaks.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Sew Tiki.
