lava, sent you a pm about dry ice and 151 question.
Man, to Danny, Benze, Basement, Octane, and the others, specially my man Leroy, i finally have started putting the tools to the wood. i have started my first carving, after desiring to do so for 10 years.
i do about 10-15 minutes a day. trying a small one first, a tangaroa to wear on a necklace. what a challenging craft! I sculpt as part of what makes me a living, but this is completely different. even working in chavant, you can always add back to it. with wood, it seems, you need to have a more spcific idea in mind with each tap of the mallet. i guess when i start something larger there will be more leeway, but this tangaroa is so far a great step into the unknown.
Thank all of you for the how tos on creating tiki and for those of you that have answered my questions about carving in the past.
I will post a pic when i finish(if my F#@*G digital camera will cut me some slack.)
