I've been picking up snail shells & lizard sculls

I'm also liking PNG stuff lately.
That's how this pendant came together.

So I picked up a couple of new logs.
This is how I haul them.

This is how I move them.

And this is where I put them.

Look,
I still have that 14 foot Moai I carved a year ago.
I'm still trying to give it to the city.
They are gagging on it.

I've been muddling around with some Mahogany.
One bud gave me a Mahogany log of just heartwood.
Another bud milled it down to 2X2 in blanks.
Carves like a dream & the color, wow.

Tiki Tom Tom is writing a book on home Tiki bars. He saw my stuff at Gator Robs World famous Canabal Loung in Beautyful Downtown Orlando. So, he came to Ft. Lauderdale & spent a few hours with me to see what I do. He posted this on his blog preluding his book. http://tikitomtom.com/2022/02/06/create-an-army-of-tikis/
