A certain guitar question...! GROG, I love ya, ya ol' hairy back'd guy! The only thing I've done lately is find a piece of KOA (Benz gave me) that would be PERFECT for a moai kava kava. Ooooo, I DID cut out an outline on a bone piece with the band saw recently. So there ya go...I HAVE actually done SOMETHING. sigh.. I love tiki central. I wish it was a bar we can all walk into...every night...like a black hole or something. hee hee

Just gettin underway on, anOTHer Tangaroan. I just love these. Here's after using the angle grinder with a freestyle blade on it. And a little finessing with some new tools from Christmas.

S surfintiki Member S. Chatham, MA Joined: Sep 30, 2004 Posts: 1576	S surfintiki Posted posted on Sun, Nov 22, 2009 1:21 PM Grog-the-anti-Ruzic! I like the new name, quite catchy. Those two Tangs are different, one is Butternut, and one is Basswood. The Basswood one is 9", and a tad bigger than the butternut. No more Butternut pieces left, I'll eventually get some more though, that's a good lookin wood. Thanks Laojia, hopefully I'll be starting on it sooooon! I did finally manage to find a small piece of time, and put my head to the grindstone. Did a little shaping on the Tangaroan mask, and doing a commission piece in bone...so I HAVE to get that done SOME time. Mask.. The bone twist, which will get a shell inlay in there eventually...

S surfintiki Member S. Chatham, MA Joined: Sep 30, 2004 Posts: 1576	S surfintiki Posted posted on Mon, Nov 23, 2009 3:05 PM Many Thanks Benzer, TikiMangoMan, Laojia, TahitikiTitty... Ahhhh Laojia, this must be killing you, the way I drag my heels!! HA HA...I'll get to it soon...I hope. You know it's gotta be done right! BigTea! I use a scroll saw, cheaper than a band saw, but the Band saw is much stronger. Go to my page 43 to see it...I got it on craigslist for like $40! Scroll saw cuts a LOT slower than I thought it would...better than a hand saw though. But I tell ya, the sanding disc on a grinder is AWESOME. You can fly through the bone with that. Then the burrs and sanding. Well off to band practice...no carving again tonight. Mahalo

It's cool to see the transition from the "rough carve" to the finely finished piece. Can't tell you how many times I've squinted at my chiseled work and thought "this is never gonna amount to anything" and then...Voila! Super work...no matter what you use for stain...gonna be great.
