Thanks everyone, HalaB, that pic was painted by one of our TC artists and I opened it and right clicked on it and chose to "Set as desktop background".
Surfintiki, a bandsaw Really helps a lot, But it can take off too much wood if you aren't careful.
Kooch, I know the tiki is in there, but sometimes it is hard to know which parts to take off. What you have in your head to remove may be different from what the Tiki sees and wants you Not to remove. But you are right, the tiki is there, it just needs to be unwrapped.
Here is todays work, Not much.
This is the most teidious part of carving a Lono. Cutting out all these little holes. It is very difficult and is hard on the hands and fingers. It takes a lot of strength and control, but its nice to have 1 of these guys headdress roughed out.




Here are the tools I used to make all thos little holes

Here are the tools along with the toothpicks used to strengthen eash little point. Those dots are not just decorations and the toothpicks go in about 3/4".
