Nope. Old growth Argentinian Mahoghany, illegally harvested from the Amazon delta by child slave labor. Only the finest for fair Mojave!

Sunset:
If it hasn't been a year, then it feels like it has been a year since I carved an actual full body tiki on a full round log. It's been so long, in fact, that I think I forgot how to actually do one. I'm giving myself a quick one to do as a refresher course before I start something more sizable or labor intensive.
I started yesterday afternoon on a practice run to make sure that I could carve a certian feature onethe full body/full round log right. Since it was a body feature, I was more interested in doing that first and I broke from my normal routine and started at the bottom and worked my way up. Here it is after a couple hours of work:
Hit at it again for a couple more hours today and got the body to here:
Then I started the head and face:
That's where I left off this afternoon...

Thanks Wendy. I used that gate style as the basis for a split rail bamboo fence that I did too. Here are the posts:
And installed:
the Maori post sparked the idea for this bridge that I also made:

The sun came out just long enough to set yesterday:
Never broke 70...
I got a couple more hours into the Hawaiian guy's head:
I hope to wrap it up today.

Makes me want to get some land, some cattle, and fence it all in!
Fences make good neighbors, and I make good fences!

The sun peaked out from under the clouds as it set today:
Pretty much finished carving this guy:
I just have a couple spots I'll fix up when I sand it
I had it on a table and noticed the combo of the tv light and the room light made it kinda look like a velvet painting:
Buzzy Out!

Got a couple things to work on, but that's always the case. I'm happy with the results, and even happier with the process...
