Another top coat on the hook. Bottom lashing complete. Waiting on leather straps to do the top and handle lashings. Going to do a traditional Hawaiian lashing on the top.

This is the basic idea of how the top will be lashed. If my leather ever gets delivered.

Is this a hobby? Done much/anything like this before? It IS BEAUTIFUL!! Wonderful work, you are very skilled. How long did the entire project take? Amazes me the skill, craftsmanship and patience people have that can do this. Hand Made is passing us by and the skills that go with it. Congratulations. Job very well done.

There's a few hours tied up into this but mostly because I got the idea to add the glowing resin after I all ready finished the project once. After I did the glowing resin inlays I had to strip the finish and redo. It's a wedding gift for my wife's brother. They're from NZ and I got the idea from the Disney movie Moanna, which in based on Polynesia mythology, which is right in their wheelhouse.

I would say I have about 20 hours in, maybe $150. I would like to do another one for my wife. If I do it again I'd like to do it out of a solid block of wood instead of lamimating.

Nah gangsterkathryn @BocaPrincess has got boobs, there's a standing open invite. :D



*not that I'd turn down an offer of beer and wings...except from @Song2 ...he's prolapsed and I can't do nothing with that.
Thanks for that last part, suddenly don't feel like dinner for some reason. Thanks for the warning though, Now Know not to invite @Song2 to any Pool or Beach Party.
