I read an article in a hot rod magazine once on tiki carving. They used a butane torch from the hardware store.

Their advice was to use it like a paintbrush, and slowly build up the colour/definition. A little bit at a time, stand back and eyeball it, then a little more. Only use it for highlights. Have some water close by just in case?

Good luck, take plenty of pics :)
