Hewey's wood thread - Making a Paipo p20 - Tiki Carving

Its going to be a Hawaiian inspired full bodied tiki holding a shield, about 16 inch tall. The back of the piece of wood is still bark, which Im going to leave as is. I hope to get a really smooth finish and give it a clear stain. Itll be an indoor tiki when finished. Unfortuneately, the back is not flat, so the piece is moving around some when I chisel it. I only have flat chisels, I really need a v chisel and a gouge chisel. I spent lots of time chasing the piece around the bench, as the chocks my step-dad had arent real big, and dont hold it real well.
