A-A… Some Stuff I'm Working On - Tiki Carving

I think the eyes will be made up with some natural stone inlay - probably cut from some tumbled travertine tiles that I've got laying around. That will come later... Most of the rough-out is done. The next challenge will be roughing out the hands, legs, and feet. I'm saving the headpiece for last, because it's got a few cracks and may be a little fragile once it's all cut out. After all of the above I will get down to some serious detailing and sanding. Any good tips on carving hands & feet? My only thought at the moment is to use my own for reference. As always, all of your excellent advice and input is much appreciated! Cheers, Aaron
