It's positive words like yours that keep me jacked to keep going Fox, thanks! Appreciate it Watango, and you are right I need to grow up- but I will have to quit tomorrow. pjc I have more waiting in the on deck circle. Here is "Orson" complete.
Also did enough rough work to move this piece into the staging area. Almost nothing like the smell of fresh cut cedar.

2 good projects Cy.
Orson's hard to photo I bet.
Most likely needs to be seen in person.
The bar is starting to pop.
The sculptures look thick & deep.

Two days without one update from anyone is embarrassing dudes so here goes. Very good Watango, I would not have thought of "oarsome." The technical name for this chest high piece of Japanese hemlock is "Tsuga" so that's his name. It is not even good for firewood, being pulpy, powdery in spots, and extremely chippy but I still had fun carving him. I used mostly power tools (chainsaw, grinder, ArborTech) because chisels were just not cutting it, so to speak.
You can tell from it's stump behind it how it fell in my yard.
I'm fairly certain that this kind of hemlock is the state tree of Washington, but don't quote me on it because I don't feel like researching at the moment.
Today he soaked up a quart of Cabots like a tikiphile absorbing rum at a room crawl, and will take a few more coats to complete.
Once I got this cedar carving into the garage I realized how wet it actually was, so it will not make the trip to Caliente this year but may be with me for the local Tiki Kon, or for Oasis in August.
I added a top section for this piece of bass wood.

In my state, you can be arrested for carving the state tree. I always suspected you were an outlaw.
Everything looking exceptional!

We are taking in a bit of water captain, glad the ts arrived Jeff, and there is something about a chain saw that makes me feel above the law amate. Here is the menagerie that will accompany me to Palm Springs in two short weeks.
I built a simple stand out of copper that I had kickin' around for "Orson"
It took three coats of a green/yellow paint to complete the numbers on "Ben"
Some swag.
