Glad you had a designated driver. Lol
Looks good.

Welcome back Scott. He looks much bigger than 6". How did you finish him?
I don't know why but I keep getting a feeling that you have something special your planning. What ever your next carve is, hope to see it soon.

amate!! thnx for stoppin in! took the pics close up cuz he was small but hes only 6inch!lol! the finish was tough cuz he was small and i was away from my goodies at home! lol! i bought a small detail paint brush and some flat enamel black paint and put it in all the grooves and where i like to have contrast then had to sand off any over paint(very annoying!) then staind w red oak stain two light coats let dry and thande w semi gloss thane. thats it! and as for speacial projects.... yes i have two that im almost ready to get goin on! one is an outdoor kitchen/tiki hut w a small bar and lots of cool tiki stuff!!! the other is a suprise!! haha its gonna be cool!! i have three tikis i need to do for a pet shop right away but the customer wants something cheap that looks old so they should be pretty easy to get out of the way! and i will be postin pics of all. thnx again for stoppin in and come on back anytime!!!! cheerz!!

I like the little guy. How long did it take you? I was thinking of trying a small tiki lilke that before i go for the full body one.

claq!!! this one took about five hrs i did a seacond also and it only took about four(still waitin for a pic from the gift recever!)I only have one knife for yhis kind of small work but will be gettin a set of four flex cut carvin knives soon!! that should speed up things w the detail work and soforth!! and yeah i could see where it wld be usefull doin a mini first and have seen other guys on this site do exactly that. cheerz and thx for stoppin in!! come by anytime!

BTScott, this 6 incher is Way cool, lotsa nice detail. Small pieces are great in that when you get back to a big one yopu see All this Real estate where you can put detail, it's a whole new perspective.

benz!! thnx for stoppin in and the kind words!! yeah it was realy fun and i def see what your sayin about goin from small to big its like wow lokkat what i could do here or arnd here or ........ cheerz!!!

drasticwagon!! i think i missed a reply here !! srry!! yeah it waas not wrkin ...knife,wood, steering wheel, gas,road , and watchin what im cuttin the road traffic!!! wifey lended some wheel time so i cld carve!! lovin that in a lady!! thanx for the kind words and stoppin in!! comon back anytime!! cheerz!!

Good stuff! Those little ones are indeed hard to do. I love your style.

Big Tiki- I was wondering what you had in mind for those logs you posted some time ago. Way to break out the big guns!

Nice one, Love the sanded finish, very clean.

Carve deeper!

alohastation!! thnx for stoppin in and havin a look!! hopfully its just those pics thght i was goin pretty deep!? but i will def heed those words in the future! hope you check out the new finished pics as they show him better.

and soo..... here are the finished pics(he has a flat back cuz gettin mounted to a wall)he has a flatt stain and outdoor oil finish. also here is the pic of my mother load of coconut palm logs!!!! there between 5and hlf ft to about three ft! cherrz all and thnx for lookin!!!!

by the way anybody know where or what happend to tigodz or furball!?

Awesome Job

drasticwagon!!!! thnx for stoppin in and the props much appreiciated!!!! hope to have more pics of new stuff soon! cheerz!!!

hello all!! heres the latest!! my first real try at a moai. he still has some dryin b4 i can sand him down more but hes close! hes 39 inchs tall and carved from coconut palm. also included is a log i just got dressed and moved in to the shop to dry. i have posted pics of another that has a rootball also i received both at the same time and now im ready for some chop chop on both!! this is def the larger of the two w a base of 13 in and a top of about20in!! and stands about 5ft 10in!they are both washington palms. thnx for lookin and cheerz!!

Cool Moai and Cooler Hairy log! Can't wait to see what he becomes and how much "Hair: you can leave.
Careful on that tiki in the background with going on those thin legs,, the palm doesn't have the strength in the long run to hold up that body without some help. Still Nice tiki!

BENZ!! thnx for stoppin in and the kind words!! as for hairy log im still developing ideas so we shall see hahahahaaa!!! as for tiki in da bckgrnd i felt the same way so i left him a seat so to speak if you look behind his hands and legs. also he has a flat back and will be mounted flat against the wall so that shld givem a little help too!! in the future i def plan on leavin more beef in da bottom of these types!! thnx for lookin out for the welfare of my tikis!! thnx again and happy new year to you and yours!!! AND EXTRA CHEERZ TONIGHT!!!

hello all!! just postin some pics of a lamp i made for my outdoor kitchen/tiki bar/ tiki hut!! the inspiration for this lamp came from a pic we all see when johnny p makes a post. it is a glass w a very very cool base wich i just had to do for this lamp!!! johnny p i hope you dont mind and please take this as a huge compliment cuz it is so bad ass!! this is just a test hanging in the shop and i have a few more tweeks and it shld be all ready to go!! had a hard time w pics and will post more in sunlight b4 hangin and in its finished location!! thnx for lookin and cheerz to all!!

Really Cool looking Lamp Scott, Nice to see some new ideas all lit up.
Way to go on that tiki,, Sure fooled me!
