thanks guys...and yeah, I'm gonna cut the broken part off and fix what's left, and the body is off to the scrap pile...
It's new name is "the roadkill Ku".
and wow...last night my little vintage bike bar-hopping club (the RUST RIDERS) had a big outing. It was a pretty crazy night and I feel like ass this morning, but hey, it looks like I may have a new chick out of the deal. It was a pretty good night!
And now for some coffee and advil....the BREAKFAST of CHAMPIONS!

Well, today was a cluster-f%%%.
I didn't get a lot done.
And the hotel is 90% occupied so no power tools until Monday....
but I got a little bit of the body roughed out...

Man....I wanna go DEEP DEEP on this one....
but it's pitched forward so far I'm afraid I'll go one inch too deep, hear the cracking, and ARGHH!!!!!!!
I'm REALLY afraid of cutting much on the back at all....
I'm hoping they let me do another 5 or 6 feet on this one...somewhere between the hand railing & the gutter on the 2nd floor....

Looks great!! I bet they are quite pleased!
FYI - the Parrot Heads are having a big shin dig down at Whiskey Joe's on the causeway from March 2nd thru the 4th ... They have about 600 people registered so there will be quite a turn out. I know you have a lot on your plate, but they are offering vendor spaces if you are interested. Don't know the cost but if you want to inquire you can contact this dude:
Music on the Bay www.musiconthebay.org
If interested in being a vendor at the event please email Dick Dobbins from the Sarasota club: rldobkins@gmail.com
Tell them Captain Jack from the Tampa club recommended you ... (keeping in mind, that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you talk to!)
If any of you other Florida carvers think this may be something you would be interested in then give them a call!!
Have a Great Day!

Well, I'm gonna ask them if they want to do one more dude on top of those 2...
if not, I'm moving on to the big one....
but I'm gonna spend most of tomorrow on it & try to get it done...
And thanks for the info Jack. I'm actually working up a bid for whiskey joe's as we speak...
