JELLY! Was just talking about cigar store Indians this past weekend -- need to source one. Great get!

Re: Man of the house
 

Very nice! Congrats.

Definitely on the list of potential future purchases. Looks like he's got a good home :tu

I'm pretty sure a local brother saw my green-with-envy post above and decided to come to my rescue. :)

Meet "The Chief", as my benefactor dubbed him many years ago. He's not all painted up, but after he gets cleaned up a bit & slathered with oil, I'm guessing he's gonna be right purdy.

Big thanks to Mannyboy for starting this thread -- without it, I'm not sure I'd have had this opportunity.

That.Is.Awesome! I kind of like it without the paint, will have a nice warm tone to it, class the joint up.

Re: Man of the house
 

I missed that last week, Vin, that's super cool! Ours are very similar aside from the paint.

Re: Man of the house
 

Same tribe maybe? :D

Tung oil was recommended, and I've gotten one coat on so far. It really brings out the richness in the wood. Going to put on a second coat this weekend, and see where we're at after that. The Chief's going to spend a few weeks in the garage to off gas. Last thing I need are fumes in the lounge.

Re: Man of the house
 

That is so cool, Vin. He has your coloring as well.

We're the Hekawi

With one coat of Tung oil. Going to do another.

Re: Man of the house
 

beauty!

Re: Man of the house
 

Very nice

Re: Man of the house
 

Successfully got him into the lounge without dropping him down the basement stairs and smashing him into a million little oil-stained pieces. :D

I like how the shadow on the wall gives the illusion of wings. Clearly the eagle is his spirit animal.

Re: Man of the house
 

Nice! The stain looks amazing.

Re: Man of the house
 

Fly, EAGLES, Fly...Looks good....Did you say "bung oil"??

Re: Man of the house
 

Here come the Hawks, the mighty Blackhawks.

Bung is the new hash.

Re: Man of the house
 

Meet the new hash...same as the old hash....I'm not getting fooled by that again..

Lest a tree flattens the house, and we'd all be killed. -(P

There is a relatively nice priced cigar Indian on eBay right now. only problem is it is local pick up in the New York area. Requested a quote on new Uship to see how much it would be to ship out to California

Re: Man of the house
 

Very cool Vinny.
