It will take days for me to recover from the last 12 hours. My rain guage read .125 inches-and that was for one day! I didn't get any work done at all because I was checking to make sure I had fresh batteries and several gallons of water on hand, as well as tuning into the emergency broadcast system. I'll be glad when the Santa Anas hit on wednesday-but it will probably be too hot to work then. Here's the sunset: for fans of blue/grey for fans of yellow I have a log in front of me, and I'm probably going to carve it. After I waste some more time. I'll be back. Sun's Down, Buzzy Out!

This one will suck. Real bad. I'm bored though, and carving kills time, in big huge blocks. Twenty three inches of log love... I have in mind this kind of rounded stepped looking crappy headress. it will taper and twist and be real stupid. But it will be round in some parts. I usually take about 5-6 pictures of the sunset and post the best one. While I was moving today's files, I noticed the boat on the horizon in this picture. Here's to the big boat fans: Go Navy!

You promised that you wouldn't tell anybody. Damn! Okay everyone, Benzart carved that tiki, left handed, while he was working on three lonos, the Moai, and posting away on TC with his right hand. The most amazing thing was that he never glanced once at the work he was doing with his left hand. It was like he carved it as a reflex. He felt sorry for me because my stuff was crap, and he was generous enough to share his leftovers with me, for he sake of my reputation. Thanks Benzart, and take a bow!!!

Haikai: Greetings, again, my German friend! and thank you! So far as color, I usually change my mind a couple of times before I finally commit to the final one. One thing I do is wait until after I start to sand it before I really get a good idea. Then i can usually tell what kind of stain pattern or shade will be the best for the grain of the wood. I have not done a multi toned one for a few tikis now. Thanks again, you have me thinking... last update for me today, which is really tomorrow to most of you, but is technically today.

It was pie shaped, so I cut it down and was left with a practice piece. Carves real well with the chisels and hookknife, but it is damp. Should I wait until it is totally dry to cut into? On search "ficus" I saw that AA, Alohastation, and benzart tried this type of wood. Any advice guys?

Carve it quick, sand it & seal it though, 'cause it likes to crack as it dries out. At least mine did. The grain gets this nice spaulting effect, so you may want to clear coat it. Is that your log for this weekend? See ya there, bud!

I'm kind of between projects right now. I'm looking forward to checking out the angle grinder stuff you and 4wd are planning on bringing. See you there... Dr. Shadalbophadappoha: I still have not not been able to get rid of that problem that we talked about at our last session. It seems the compulsion is even worse now. I'm still trying to turn every piece of wood I see into a tiki form. Why just tonight, I tried to go to bed, but I noticed that a piece of Ficus was sitting in front of me. It was wedge shaped. I wanted to make it into a tiki, but I remembered the technique you taught me to overcome my urges. Well, that didn't work. (Do you offer refunds?)First I told myself that I would just make it round and stop. After it was round, I drew a Lono on it. Then, I noticed the Lono looked like one of those Easter Island Guys. Then it just happened. You were right, however, when you said most of my other problems stem from my tiki making affliction. Like my insomnia, messy house, constant internet postings... The other day I almost ran off the road looking at a palm tree... I wanted to carve it so bad... There are three palm stumps in PB, next to a school fence. It's probably against the law... but I want to carve those into tikis. Let's see if this ficus will crack Psychosis Buzzy Out .
B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Fri, Dec 1, 2006 4:18 AM You were right about the Lono looking like a Moai, and a darn good one at that. I can see you really DO have a problem. No piece of wood is safe around you. My experience with Ficus was always great. I could carve it fresh with no splits and it finished beautifully. I think you should switch doctors. Raffertiki knows a good one. Keep bringing on the sunsets

Thank you. MattReese: There's also this waist high stump a few doors up the hill on the right from this park in Rolando... Speaking of public trees... Any you SD Guyz: Seen that dead tree on the right, right after the Sea World Exit going north. Dibs. Just have to wait until they catch that guy who was lighting all of them on fire last year. Hate to get taken down for that. "It's the Bay Park arsonist, but he's changed his MO. This guy does all kinds of sick things to those trees. You should see the death camp for trees he has in his yard. We need to make sure he gets the maximum sentence allowable by law" Benzart: Yes, this ficus is fun. Been hitting it with the mallets, hand gouges, and hook knife so far. It's sloooow going because I'm just doing a lot of playing, learning the wood. I took a little off of it this afternoon: Close up of the grain. I'm surprised when I look at it and it doesn't look like palm... Spent part of my day doing log prep for tomorrow: One, or two, lucky attendees will get the log on the left at the carving party: I'm doing one of those, "I wonder if..." things with the log on the right. I hope the good wood is thick enough to pull this off. Buzzy Out! [ Edited by: Bay Park Buzzy 2006-12-01 18:04 ]

Your right that log's grain doesn't look like palm. Ficus - Good and bad things to say about that stuff, 1. Carve it when moist because that stuff dries to a very firm wood. 2. Ficus tends to grow over itself and that results in dead spots in the wood - use caution. 3. It has a beautiful grain and is a great carving wood - sometimes. All this is from messing with the hurricane, fallen trees of 2004-2005.

I did some more sanding of him today, and did some test stains on a piece of scrap from the same log. Unfortunately, I didn't like any of them. So I'll try something else... I still think it's funny that I originally drew it up as a Lono. Glad it took the turn that it did. Do you guys think he was calling himself out of the wood? No that would be too corny.

How do you do it? Have you thought of just using a beeswax paste or similar for that moai? It looks so nice as it is - he's one silky smooth little fella. I use a beeswax made for leather and footwear on my stone pieces, and have used it on driftwood too with good results.

I saw you were working on a similar piece too. More and more moais. I love it! Paipo: I was talking to a guy todaywho was a carver at one time and he suggested the same thing. It's starting to sound like the best idea for this little guy. I really do not have any other experience with finishing any other wood type but the palm, so it's a tough call on this. Carving many feet per month: How do I do it? I come up with ideas of things I want to try faster than i can do them, so I'm always physically trying to keep up with myself. And I have a lot of spare time... But since I'm carving all the time, is it really spare time? When Benzart has his wife get his computer fixed for him, I'll ask him about the beeswax finishing for the little piece. For now, I'm done with this, except some clear. Check out my new Ron Rico sign. Muy suave! I went to the carving party and planned on just hanging out and talking. That was a stuipid idea, so I tried to finish a whole tiki as fast as I could. So, this is my hand carved version of a slash and burn tiki. This is definitely not my finest hour. But it's a great way to spend a couple afternoons.. Little Brother Jimmy Tom: Remember when I moved out and you went and broke all of the stuff that I had left in the band room? Well I finally found a replacement for my Ron Rico sign that you smashed. So now I don't wish that I would have kicked your ass more when we were growing up. Now I wish you would pay me for the sign that I bought at the swap meet yesterday. Kiva sends you a kiss and she's saving one for when you get home this holiday season. Bye little brother. Should I Stain or Should I Sleep Now Buzzy Out!

I fixed my computer today, now I just have to put it back together. That little guy is really really cool. What a beautiful grain. I think I would thin down some red mahogany stain and put on a real light coat. Then if you want to do the wax thing just get a buffing wheel and wax it up with beeswax and buff the crap out of him until he is all shiny. Then hand polish with a soft cloth. Beautiful job, that. The other 2 tiokis are very nice too. I Love the one with the tongue on his head. Keep up the good work,,NO Slacking, slacker!

Buzzy has cleverly chosen a job which conveniently requires daylight. At night his Tikis are 'drying'. The lad's in shape. Everything about his lair is mysterious. His girlfriend looks like she was drawn by Jack Kirby. He uses a comic book as his insignia... The clues are obvious, Buzzy is a Tiki Carver by day and a Crimefighter by night!

Damn, I was almost outed... Cammo: You're real close, but you've missed a couple of "clues." Keep looking....oh yeah, lol too! Last night's sunset came out blurry. Here's a shot across the bay. You can barely see the OB pier and Mission Bay jetty in the background. On bigger days, you can see the whitewater breaking with the naked eye from here. Thanks Stiki Tiki and family for the gift: I have a date with this log today, and my lawn... Always Busy Buzzy Out!
