Nice work Johnny. Thanks for putting up pics. That Marq is shaping up nicely! How tall is that fellow? What kind of wood?

Johnny, some really nice stuff going on up there in the woods. I can tell you're happy to be working outdoors comfortably. 
Hope you're not getting all the the rain we continue to get over here, the mosquitoes are insane. As soon as that sun starts going down I run for the door.

Thanks
The wood is pine, red pine I think. He is about 5 feet tall, I haven't measured yet.
Here is the update on the marq, I haven't made any measurable progress on the drum.
Lake it is nice outside and I love this weather, bring on summer and let it stay for 11 months of the year.

Johnny, these are really looking great, Especially since you are doing them in Punishing pine. That looks kinda like a Smug Smirk on that Marq, Wonder why? Dayum you have really got some Skills there son!

Yes he does have a "little" bitty peepee. Actually this is based off of a post Bigbrotiki posted of a tiki in Trader Vic's in Europe.
Thanks for all of the positive comments.
I have not had a lot of time to carve due to many family weddings and other obligations. However I did manage to collect some new carving materials.
Here are some new logs, one is a log I plan to use for carving a dugout outrigger canoe- see post in "other events"

What a friggen haul man!
Nice that you had a way to transport them, I had to leave the last big log because it wouldn't fit in the mini van, too big and more importantly, too heavy.
Weight is the biggest drawback.
This will be a fun project for you, and I know you'll enjoy the process!
