Ben, Thanks for spending part of your afternoon with me - it was a blast. The amount of knowledge gained is priceless. Seeing pictures of Benz work is one thing but get see it up close in process - oooohhh! The stock pile of wood he gave me will be keeping me busy for the next few months (his wood pile is very lustful for wood-junkies like me). He has a few surprises in his workshop that I think everyone is anxious to see. He showed me the stone stuff he has been working on and I still don't get it. For now, I'll stick with making sawdust. Thanks again and I will let you about next week soon.
We spend about 4 hours in the shop working on a few different things (mostly me getting useful bits of wood crafting know-how). I chiseled away at a now official, authentic-imitation Benzart moai. When I got home last night I couldn't contain myself and spent some time sanding the skin off him. This is a piece of Florida Mahogany - beautiful grain to this. Enjoy. You can see a few more pictures on my thread. |
