First and Second Tikis - Tiki Carving

A AlohaStation Tiki Socialite So FL Joined: Sep 27, 2004 Posts: 2434	A AlohaStation Posted posted on Mon, Oct 18, 2004 11:33 AM Here is my first attempt at carving. I started off with clay and once I got the fever I dove dove into a piece of ficus that I had gotten from one of the many trees down around my house. I sealed the ends and let it sit for a few weeks as I worked in ceramics. But the tiki fever caught hold and I started on on the logs. It took me a few hours to get this point. But it was mostly practice with the different chisels and gouges. Here is the finished product with my very enthusiastic assistant. More tikis to come in the future! Please let know what you think.
