A couple sunsets:
A few things I've done/ finished since the last update:
A couple of Maori masks:
They had finish on them but they went away before I could get final pictures of them
I relashed this drum with some more appropriate hemp lashing
Strangely, it only sounds good in the morning now. That's cool though, becuse it used to sound like crap all the time.
I whipped out a bunch of basswood Moais:
The Mega Marq drum is all carved and finished:
It's just waiting for a slab of cow to cover it
I'm currently working on this guy:
Another exotic wood Moai speed carve:
It rained last weekend so I started making router stuff. Here's one I did last night:
Six faces in this one
The growing pile of stuff:
I always say I'll try to update more, but it never happens...
That's it for now.
Buzzy Out!

I agree with Hang10, that drum is fantastic.

Santa Ana Sunset:
That tower by the sun is the Catamaran Resort Hotel
Continuing on with router,jigsaw fun...
Day before yesterday I made the two guys on the ends:
They're same stencil as the guy in the middle, just cut apart and reworked to make more sense
Yesterday, I made the two guys on each end, and did the reworked mask that's hung up there:
I like the instant gratification of doing these pieces. It's also fun to go out in the shop the next day and have all these new friends there to greet me. 12 pieces in 5 days...Good pace, but,my hands are getting tired, so a couple days off is in order.
Buzzy Out!

cool stuff, I like the one at the bottom left best, I think the grain really works with the simple design.

Sunset:
I made three more with topknots that were two toned:
The group:
I like the two toned effect. I'll probably run with that combo for those.

Sunset:
I had an old gate and fence here at the estate that was falling apart, so it was time to replace it all. A couple railroad ties were sunk in to mount the gate and form an entry way. I routed some stock cedar fence planks with 2.5 different Maori patterns for the gate. They're about 5.5' tall, and the gate was 37.5" wide. The rest of the fence will come later. I had to do the gate real quick because the old one was really bad
Here are the planks after routering:
I tried a more complex type of design than I've done in the past
And here it is after staining and installation:
Best damn gate on the block!
Detail:
Nice gate like this makes the rest of my run down yard look even worse!
Buzzy Out!

Awesome fence planks. The details are even better than the Mojave Oasis fence.
