Encouraged by what I see posted here, I decided to have a go at carving my own tiki. I selected a small, dry piece of pine.

Lacking appropriate carving tools, I used a Swiss Army Knife. Yeah, that's right, a swiss army knife.

I sketched a simple face on the wood and went to work.

So far, I have blisters, raw hands, a big pile of shavings and a slightly narrower piece of wood.

I'm loving every second of it. I'm going to work around the eyes a little bit today.
