Real cool carve.
The light sends it over the edge.
That would look great in someones dark bar.

Thanks for the positive feed back guys. I have next week off, a few whack ideas, and a sharp chainsaw so hope to start something new as well as finish others.

Love the latest 2 Cy! I wore your Frog Island Tiki shirt in Cancun and Michoacan - so don't be surprised if you start getting calls for Tikis in Mexico

Hi CY we are hooked on Caliente and hope to see you there and Oasis in 13 my lucky number. Your work is outstanding. I love the light behind the small tiki. Wendy

Glad you are back MadDog and will be looking forward to all the calls from the 998! Wendy I will be doing Caliente for sure and will seriously think about Oasis 13 as all the vendors I have spoken to say that is THE event. (although I sure liked the relaxed atmosphere in Palm Springs.) Thanks for going through the thread VampiressRN -I really try to add character and humor to each piece so your comments are appreciated! Got Stu nearly complete and will bring him to the local Tiki Kon event coming up August 4. I will be doing a live carve which will be odd for me as no one ever watches but I am looking forward to it and hope to see some TC people there for a little love.

Thanks Hang10 and Big T! Here is an update on wuzapnin'.
This is the finished product for the Elroy show here in a few weeks. I wanted it to look like the bright blue mug that it is based on so applied a crazy whitewash water based paint like Huck Finn used to use and mixed it with blue and turquoise acrylic. The darker sections are grey stain.
A wall hanging based on a quick sketch.
This is plum. The top three branches will be a band. The drummer is first.
I want this piece of cedar to look like he is rising from the dead.

So the zombie is designed to lie down like that? Cool! Like the turquise whitewash too.
