The glaze is a clear that you have to tint with color. They actually look better that the real carving (in a way - the real wood carving is still much nicer). The patina adds a lot!

W wplugger Member Joined: Jul 09, 2006 Posts: 161	W wplugger Posted posted on Mon, Nov 2, 2009 9:28 AM Ben, finished up that Tang & got an other one cooking. Thanks Jimmy. Grog, You know haw to make a guys day. I have arrived. Tmec, You needed to move closer to pick up one of the spirit hook guys. they are 200 lbs. Hard to ship. Tgods, I can always use an other finger, thanks. Both of the Tangs are practice for a log my bud gave me. It's Florida oak & it's 2 ft tall & 18 in wide. The first one I screwed up by putting the hands on the outside of the legs, and ran out of room for the legs. He's 10 in tall & would make a good lamp. They are both mango wood. The 2nd one is OK so far. I may start the big log next.

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 11:03 AM I have been watching his progress and adding my 2 cents here and there, but Will has this well in hand. That log is a monster! It easily weighed over 100lbs. when he started. I support Grog's assessment that the Tang needs a Wang - the "dick-do" excuse doesn't hold water (get it?)!

But we would expect nothing less based on all of your previous carving and restoration efforts. Those "spirit hook" figures from the Mai Kai are really cool....I suppose we all want one of those :)

W wplugger Member Joined: Jul 09, 2006 Posts: 161	W wplugger Posted posted on Sun, Jan 10, 2010 4:46 AM Wow , It's way too cold to carve ! No up dates till we warm up. The 2 smaller tangs are mango & are natural with rub polly & the pic doesn't really show the colors in the wood. The big guy, fl. oak, will be rub polly also & looks like marble when sanded clear. Thanks for the comments.
