Who knows when the sun could finally resurface? It could be months... Sunday ????? Inconclusive That little patch of sunlight on the water way to the left was the closest we had to a sunset today: On to tiki related news... I am in the process of marking up the second guy Still a little more to do on the face back is done Since I took these photos, I finished the hands and shoulders At the chop gathering on Saturday, MusubiMom made us some samples of slow curing concrete with special geologic goodies mixed in it. I brought a piece home and hacked this out with some chisels that I previously labeled as "useless." It's about 9 inches tall and 4 inches diameter. I'm also making some stain color samples for reference: BuddyCat was a big help on this project Back to work... Buzzy Out!

It looks TERRIBLE, like dandruff on a black shirt, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! The one-eyed, unoriginal tiki has actually taken a turn for the more original. I'll post the fucker(literally) when it's all stained and good to go. Im posting it on Craigslist when it's done.

C Cammo Member San Diego Joined: May 18, 2006 Posts: 2041	C Cammo Posted posted on Wed, Feb 20, 2008 4:52 PM Hey Buzz - Deft seems to come in two basic varieties, "Defthane" and "Deft Clear Wood Finish", the first is polyurethane and the second is a laquer. Both are great, the laquer is more for interior and pendant-type stuff. Both go on super-smooth like water. The poly makes a clear glassy top if you do like 3 or 4 coats, and is great for indoor/outdoor stuff. I've got some and you can have the can. And a big thanks for hosting the "Danger Mask". I'll get it quick.
BPB Bay Park Buzzy Tiki Socialite West Bay Park, San Diego, CA Joined: Apr 07, 2006 Posts: 3066	BPB Bay Park Buzzy Posted posted on Thu, Feb 21, 2008 12:04 PM Back to our regularily scheduled programming: We should be well in the middle of contest season, however... the sun didn't cooperate on Tuesday. It looked for a moment like yesterday's sunset was going to qualify... but then those clouds on the horizon ruined it. It's cloudy today, supposedly rainy today, tomorrow, and through the weekend. Someday we'll see the sun set on the water north of the Catamaran and the contest season will begin. Tiki Stuff: Stained these Tuesday night and yesterday. Today's project is to varnish them. We were planning on installing them this weekend, but the rain may change the plans. I sealed this guy with some rub on poly. Last update pictures: He was named "The Tongue Biter." The Tongue Biter is functional art. He is a business card holder too. Here he is demonstrating his new occupation: I forgot to take a picture of him functioning as a pendant before I shipped him off. Oh well. When everyone at the chop last weekend saw him, they were all surprised how small he really was. They couldn't get a sense of scale on him from the pictures. I also showed Mieko the concrete Easter Island guy, and she was surprised that it was bigger than she thought. So, to clarify how large these two pieces are, I have taken this picture of them with a can and ruler, for scale: More work: Finally sealed all these guys: Yesterday was another very special day: Visiting Artist Day at The House of Buzz! This week's guest was Cammo, working on his 1930's/Tiki Modern piece Like a surgeon, he works He takes out pieces on the molecular level: So inspired by my stain samples, Cammo couldn't help but stain his work. Oh that English Chestnut! Another great Visiting Artist Day! Look for more visiting artist days soon! Flat Black: Welcome! you get special merits for reading this whole thread. In fact, I think you qualify for a prize. Give me a couple days to wrangle up something cool for you. Billy: Here's what I do when I'm afraid someone will call me out for ripping off their design: just find someone else who ripped that artist off first and say you actually ripped his ripoff off. Like this: Cyclops copy If the orignal artist were to contact me, I would say that I never heard of him, and that I copied "this", and send him the picture of the copy from the other guy. Or, I think you just have to say "it's a tribute to..." or say it was "inspired by..." said artist and you are completely off the hook. Good luck! Robin and Benz: Once again, thanks for your continued moral support. GROG: As if... Buzzy Out!

Buzzy, when you brought this guy yo the chop, I thought it was a real Hawaiian swap-meet find. I had no idea that you had carved this one yourself, or I'd have basked in the presence of it's greatness. GREAT little guy, man! As far as ripping motherfuckers off for their ideas, I say they can lick my junk.......unless they're into that and in that case, I'll say nothing to them.

And just got me some of that English Chestnut stain, WOW it's killer stuff. Looks more like aged mahogany, but lets the grain show through. Just did 2 coats and I'm not wiping it off, just letting it sit for a few days and will sand off areas for an aged look... I vote 'gunstock' and 'english chestnut' the Tiki stains of the year.

When they had parties he'd sneak back there and pat down the grass in trails. Then he'd grab all the young cousins and bring us back to try to find the Gila Monster. Freaked us all out every time!

A short story by Bamboo Ben. " Real Tall Grass" Your grass always takes me back when it's long. Thank you for the re-memories Mr. Buzz. Here's to the "Good Ole' Days!" Sorry you can't come down this week-we could have had a Budweiser picnic on my lawn!

Yesterday the concrete stands were poured. The tikis will sit on top of these pillars. Concrete will be poured to seal in the base. The slot in it was left to slide the tiki in and will eventually form a 1" ring around it. They were set to fit the tikis between them and the new overhang. It took a little lifting, sliding, and gentle nudging to finally get them into place. There will be wooden deck behind them, and it will have a lot more polynesian decor and bamboo on the back wall. In front of them, is a large slab that leads to a interior dance studio. The area in front of these guys will be used as a practice place for a polynesian dance review This is what it looks like walking up from the street towards the front door. the blue tarp is covering the doors to the dance studio. And another view looking towards the street. There will be a walkway behind the guys with a gate that will be the main entrance to the house. You'll have to walk behind the tikis to get to the fromt door. Wouldn't this be a nice view to come to everyday? The facts that it's sunny and Taco Tuesday, makes this one of the best days ever! Buzzy Out!

I like these so much, I'm thinking about getting a job so that I could have enough money to hire myself to do this over at my house. I can probably cut myself a pretty good deal too, save some money on taxes. Global warming is back! Buzzy Out!
