Right you are Ben - A very tall headdress is coming! I like the arms-folded-over-the-chest concept - But perhaps I've alreay taken out too much cleavage, I think. As it is now, I've got the hands just covering the nipples a little. I should have thought that out more before putting blade to wood.

By the way, Is it "ok" to glue something back on if you were to slip with the knife? I guess it depends on how big a piece comes off accidentally, but I'm wondering what a real wood carver would do. Is that against the "rules" per se?

I know if I was paying for a tiki and the carver glued something back on, I'd be a little disappointed. However, if you do a good job, they might never know it. Reference your ebony tiki with broken legs! That was a fantastic repair job you did on that. I even enlarged your pictures a little to see if I could see where the break was, and I could not... again, good job!

And again, thanks so much for your ideas and critiques.
