yeah, my leg is much better.... every once in awhile I'll bump in on something and it'll hurt like shit for a few minutes, but other than that it's ok...
anyhoo, here's a lovely piece of red aromatic cedar I sanded up & finished for a friend yesterday....we're gonna make a little table out of it....

well, it has been a crazy week.
looks like I may be expanding my horizons a bit. Unless the budget isn't approved or some other weird shit happens, I will be travelling to Mississippi at the end of the month to build my first tiki hut. And possibly providing tikis for future customers, as well as overseeing builds here in Florida, etc. I am very excited about this new development.
Basically I'll be working with Frankie (tikirancher on here). We met up this week and threw some ideas around, and kinda tentatively agreed on some things. Nothing signed yet, but we got along well & think along the same lines, so I think it'll probably work out.
But here's one of his huts, which speak for themselves...
I'm obviously honored to have been asked to be a part of this whole thing...

I was thinking the same thing but I'm glad Nixxon said it.

Will, yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way dropping the chisel on my foot...because of that I missed the best swell in 20 year, and it appears to be somewhat of a permanent injury. And feet are important...
and Nixxon, after reading your post, both Liberace AND the Leather Queen from the Village People (both of whom live around the block from Will) called to say that your comment was NOT weird, and that yes, it is a nice piece of wood...and then they asked if you were hot...lol...
Cy, love the stuff that's goin' on over there in your back yard bro...
so anyhoo, here's some stuff that was finished up recently....
wavehead...
wedding twins...

finished up this angry pineapple & dropped him off at his new house last night...
this isn't a finished shot, just the last one I got before the sun hit the deck & I ran out of daylight...
