Johnnyp Tut 2/19 - Tiki Carving

J JohnnyP Tiki Socialite Attica, MI Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 1695	J JohnnyP Posted posted on Sun, Jan 14, 2007 6:24 PM Thanks guys, I was on a deadline with this drum, it was going to California. My parents are now driving across country and agreed to take it with them to save the shipping costs. Then the weather report shifted a bit, and they wanted to leave about a week earlier than I was expecting, so I was out in the cold pouring rain sawing away at it. I stained it less than 12 hours before they left. Here are the beaters to go with the drum. They are going in the mail and might actually make it there before the drum does. I hope these meet expectations. The one on the right is a loose copy of one I found in an auction catalog. I rmembered seeing one with the "banana plant" handle which is the detail on the handle end and thought it would be a nice touch. TikiDav asked, why the name "badaxecarving" for my website instead of "goodaxetiki"? The answer is there is a small town close to here called Bad Axe and we thought of the play on words, Bad Adze, Bad Axe(ass), Bad Ass Tiki (but then I remembered TikiG already has that) so we decided BadAxeTiki was too close to his and came up with Bad Axe Carving Co.
