Here is a question that I wanted to ask for a while and since you are just starting out, you may be closer to the "creative start" How did you come up with your design and how did you plan your first few cuts? Those seem to be my biggest hurdles, I have palm logs clean ready to go, but the first few cuts are the hardest. I have tried to "let the wood talk to me" but these logs just mumble, I design and build houses and other structures and have plenty of "Juice" but am missing it here. I thought that it means I am not to carve but I keep finding myself getting logs, cleaning them up and awaking from a rum induced fog holding chisels...should I get professional help or are others with me?
