I want to see an update. That way I can get discouraged and not go outside and work on my tikis. It's in the upper nineties down here. So do a brother a favor and keep me inside. :P

That mask of your was simply beautiful work. Having a good time working out this headdress. So much surface area in the headdress, time consuming.

The headress is simply perfect: neat smooth and everything... how did you do ? Chainsaw, sand machine, chisels ? That's top shelf bro', that's top shelf. Benjamin.

T Traderbob Member tropical shores of bavarian breweries Joined: Sep 29, 2007 Posts: 56	T Traderbob Posted posted on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 4:08 PM seeksurf, I've been watching your stuff for some time now and it has always been some kind of "modern textbook hawaiian" reference for me, thanks! The size, the smoothness, the details and the way you finish them, I am sure the lono won't be an exception, looking forward to see the final photos ! You posted the first progress photo here 2 weeks ago where the wood looked really fresh (wet), did it only take that long to dry naturally for this size of log ? Greetings from Munich, Bobo
S seeksurf Member Buckley, WA Joined: Sep 27, 2007 Posts: 2144	S seeksurf Posted posted on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 5:05 PM benella - thanks, same old technique chainsaw chisels sand like crazy. tikifreak - WOW is just fine. Bobo - thanks glad you like.he is still wet i haven't carved anything yet that was dry. I put a wet towel over him each night to keep him wet. I keep a towel over the front hoping he will crack more in the back?

I have been so busy Vac, Coast trips and the kids are on summer break. I was showing off 3 tiki's at Lapush on the Res Man the locals went crazy over them. The Indians really have alot of respect for the carving arts. I was welcomed with open arms. Trible dance, 3 fishing trips alittle Salmon and some halibut. Great time. Lono is almost done!
