Dave, are you sure that L'il Punk is done? You might have missed a couple of spots!  Just teasing! He turned out amazing, and I love the oak finish. You'll have to bring him to the next chop so we can check him out all finished, and for old times sake.

Thanks for visiting, Kate, Cam, GROG, Zaya, seeksurf, Clarita, GMAN, hewey, harro!
Kate and Cam: I don't know if Lil' Punk is ready for the responsibility of taking Oki Doki's place as mascot yet. Those are some mighty big shoes to fill!
GROG: Maybe Ill get to take Lil' Punk on a road trip too!
Zaya: Oh you are right! I did miss a couple of spots! 
seeksurf: Yeah, man! Tiki growth stimulator! Tikis love to hang around with plants.
Clarita: Yes, he took a loooong time. If I wasn't so busy hijacking your thread, he would have been done a long time ago. Thanks for putting your foot down and making me finish it before I finished the Hoku saga. Yes, a gentleman am I! Thanks!
GMAN: Yeah, it's hard to keep up with all the great threads on TC. I was thinking the same about yours, that I got there late, because you have started on a second carving since I last checked.
hewey: Thanks man, I'm going to finish up my hebel/AAC Moai now.
harro: How's the next one going, you ask? I'm dying to start another, but I decided that this year I was going to finish everything I started last year. I sure would like to try piece of that quebracho. It looks tough, but I think yours came out great!

Babalu, if I was aware that you were armed with a camera I would have lost the granny glasses real quick! You've got the skills to become a Photography Ninja! Thanks for the post.
I put some stain on this guy, Ali'i The Second...
...and now he looks like this!
I used Minwax Golden Oak Stain, with Man 'O' War Spar "satin" varnish on top. I say "satin" because it was actually very glossy, which I didn't like, so I ended up spraying Krylon Matte Finish over it to dull it down.
I hope these angles are good enough to get you started on yours, Buzzy. If not, let me know.
So, another carving from last year got finished, but this does not in any way take away my title as TC's Slowest Carver!
