here are a few things i finished over the weekend.

the first is a Moai guy, he is made out of palm wood. he was kind of a spur of the moment thing, i wanted to test how well rthis new palm wood i got the other day, and i had this little peice.

i due have a couple of questions though about Palm wood, as i really haven't carved it much at all. what due you use to sand it? i used just standard sand paper but it clogged up very fast.
does it take stain well, or is there any secrets to staining palm?

this next project is a pannel that will go on the front on my tiki cabinet i'm currently in the midst of finishing. its only been a year so far. i have had the thing drawn out for a little while but i haven't gotten around to it.
