JP,
Congrats on a job well done. I think you did a fantastic job on that lono. I comend you on trying to do that. It took guts and you really got it close. I'm sure you learned a lot from this experiement. Looking forward to seeing whats next on your chopping block.

JohnnyP,
Is it too cold in your house/basement to apply poly? What about a spray on spar?

Rodeotiki- The snow is gone! The next 10 days will be above freezing (at least according to the weather channel) so maybe the pool will thaw.
Congatiki and Loki. I learned a lot from this challenge. Benzart has a style all his own and it was different working with it but very informative. I think I am going back to PNG for the next big piece.
Gman- I thought you'd laugh at the poolside thing.  I don't think I am going to poly this one, I'll let it dry outside for a few days and then try to antique it to make it look real old. That check down the center and numerous small ones already give it an abused feel, might as well use it to an advantage.
Benzart- That is the best complement I could have hoped for. Thank you. Yes I'll work cheap.
This one is a keeper, but I am running out of room behind and under all the furniture.
JP

JohnnyP, that Lono is so very impressive, how cool you carved that, you just get better and better. How's the weather up there?

That is sweet! You just inspired me to dust the winter cobwebs off my chisels, and find another log to hack at.

Hey Johnny! How's it!?
Any new pics of the Lono for us? Are you done beating him with chains and what ever you are using to "antique" him? We wanna see more of this guy - or are you working on something else up there? Bring it son, we need to know!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Gman, I promise I’m not holding out.
Thanks Bete, Tiki5-0, and Raffertiki.
Here is a club I have been working on for a while and just finished. I also started a crocodile canoe prow from the Sepik River in PNG, but right now it looks like a block of wood, so no pictures.
Shutterfly looks like it cropped the pictures funny.
Thanks for looking. Have a nice day.
JP
