That cool carving you did in the trunk of the palm at the german developers place intrigues me. What sort of palm is that carved from? It looks like it was soft and buttery to carve!
Nice job and great placement!

Got a few things going yesterday. Finished the hands on the tiki that's been sitting on my front porch for a year. My buddy Cheeta is going to do some detail painting on it.
Cut this Moai...
and then started this angry little torch holder...
Hopefully today will be equally productive.

so I finished the last piece at the New Pass Grill. I call it "inshore slam", because he's got a big snook, and a trout & a redfish on the stringer. The fishing dudes like it.
and I'm also pretty much done cutting the angry torch holder.
Looks like the east coast should have some good waves tomorrow, so I'm heading out there early & gotta get some stuff done today.

Thank you Mr Thorn!
So, Benz showed me how to use the #1 skew chisel when I visited there a while back, but it really wasn't until today that I really came to know it. So several "doors" opened for me today. Funny how sometimes you learn a new tool & then wonder how you were functioning without it....

Well, this piece is a bit crumbly & stringy, but I've come too far to turn back now.
Either way having lots of fun getting to know the skew a little better.
