Cy - I enjoy doing the feet and have to watch myself or I'll spend way to much time on them. Same with the fingers. Thanks
A.Mess- I'm going to have to bail on the bowling pin. Lots of insect damage and it is falling apart. I stuck with it just long enough to get some small definition on the cooling fins around his hat. Otherwise, he would look like he's wearing a hoodie. I'll come back with a coat of spar just to try and glue things together. He's not as bad as Vlad but glad you looked in.

shame about the rot, that's looking good. I want to do a slit drum at some time, did you hollow out with power tools or was the wood to flaky to get that deep?

Watango – Thanks man. That drummer you are working on is fantastic and I will use it as a study. Someone asked if I could make them a drummer so I started these two small pieces to see if I could figure out how to make one. I like the way you did the legs.
A.M. The cavity is only about four inches deep and 1.5 wide inside. I have a request for one of these slit drums and since the first is not the best quality, I have started another to give the young lady another option.
