It looks like some of your lines are close together and you might wind up running into problems. Carve the tiki one step at a time and the other parts will fall into place. Make sure you have room to leave high spots where you need them. You sound apprehensive about the project? Just jump in and make it happen. Be aggressive and cut deep. If it's any help, I draw sketches on paper, think about how to make the particular cuts, and then cut on a clean log. I get the picture in my head and then start cutting and try to remove all the wood around the hidden tiki. Good luck, and show us lots of pics along the way. -Gman
