VBTIKI - Thanks much yes get your hands on some cedar its nice.
tikimeculs - Cool, thanks for the walk-thru on the thread.
Clarita - I appreciate the positive vibration coming from you.
GMAN - Its going slow. I'm still hacking out the body. A few hrs a day
is good. I was abusing my hands on waffle head at times, so I'm slowing
down alittle.
Bete - Thanks Bro

Turns out my parents are droppin some trees and the lopper says he has more cedar than I could carve in a life time so looks like what ever is discussed on this forum comes true. All I need now is a new grinder with all the pads and attachments!!

I have been meaning to update.
I'm still tweaking the body in. Not a lot of
progress. I have been spending some time on waffle head also.
Im also have some Vista and camera driver issues.
I need to just buy a usb adapter for the media card.
Thanks for checking in guys.

There's dedication! Making sure to get that shot up to T.C.!! Lookin good seeks, that cedar has a more milder red inside, I wonder when you coat it, if it will darken it some. Keep on jammin'!

benella - Im sure you could pull it off.
Bowana - thanks and the frustration with the drivers also.
surfintiki - I love the color and grain I'm thinking about
leaving it natural.
tikifreak - just started cutting the mug today.
harro - I use the chisels mostly in the areas i cant
control with the sander or chainsaw. I go back and forth
allot with all 3 tools.
