Hey Digger, that Officially looks ike a Peliocan,and a nice job too for your first one. Pelicans are not easy to do, but once you get the hang of it (after about 50 or so) thay are easy. You can use a Wood rasp to get under those tight spots. Chisels work well too and a Die-grinder works wonders. Your angle grinder with a 7" disk works too IF you use a Router speed control to slow it down. You want to see some Bad pelicans, come down to Florida along the coast where chainsaw carvers try to do them. You would see right away how nice yours is.

Nice Job! I was wondering how you were doing on this, I was going to bump this up to find out. It looks like you have him sanded up to a real smooth finish.

yeah yeah. I call it the Chocolate dipped Moai Pelican.
The latest on the Minnie's Mug scandal, starting next week you'll be able to buy the Minnie's mug directly from, of all places, Minnies!! Nice turn around. I don't know why the change but I'll go with it. Also some trouble with quality control from my mug maker. With many of the mugs, the glaze is running (is there a word for it?). These obviously will not be sold, so it's possible, that there will be less mugs produced than previously thought. Not sure how it will all end, but trying to stay positive. Maybe we can have a tiki mug sacrifice party.
