Hey Zero, Badd and Marone, thanks for the notes. The palm log came from Bullet. It was a gift. I have so much fun posting and reading comments that I'll keep it up. We are visiting with family right now so I'm taking a break. Badd, thanks but I love seeing Dan clean it up! Back to my other family, bye bye Tiki friends for now, Wendy

Hi Brenda, there's just not enough hours in the day for all I want to do.
laogia, thank you. Today I took a hunk out of our patio. I was told sooner or later I would drop a chisel. Now I need to repair the patio. I was lucky it's wasn't my foot.
Clarita, thank you too. It's a lot of fun.
Last night.
Dan's really good at this, even in the dark.
Today I concentrated on removing more wood to deepen the face. I didn't work on the inside of the mouth but I did deepen most of the rest.
Men's work is never done.
Cheers, Wendy

It's nose day and a bit of carving on the forehead design edges.
Dan's a man of his word, every time I'm done he sweeps up those chips. Wendy

Thank you Congatiki. It really starts to be fun at this point. I fine tuned the nose again and then I started to deepen the mouth and under the chin. Wendy
Note the Cindy Crawford mole.
Dan did a formal clean up today.

Perhaps you could get Dan a broom so he can stand and sweep!
Looking good there Wendy
