Guess who wants to say "Hi"....finally?

Golf ball head is finally finished...less his poly coats...he has been a long time in the making, but I'm happy with the results. Far from perfect, but a great lesson. I can tell the difference from when I started him months ago, to the final cuts recently, that I've got a little better eye and my cuts are improving. While he in not completely traditional, he does have some elements that are true and some special loki elements...well not special, but experiements...

His color is called Deep Ebony. At first I almost stopped and went with a lighter color, but the darker deep chocolate brown makes him look bold and I think it works.

Thanks for checking in on this never ending tiki...Rodeo...do i get the trophy for the longest carving?




Just before his stain...

More projects are coming...hang in there.....
