The maori carver (yes, that is supposed to be an adze in hand!) is about finished. No more carving on him, just some coats of tung oil for the final steps. The war canoe panel is basswood and should cut like balsa compared to the maori made of brown cement! Lake Surfer- Relief carving is a nice break from carving in the round. I dig it! Thanks for the comps on the canoe panel. I can't wait to check out some of your panels too! Benzart- I really appreciate your input on the maori carver piece. Now I know that the tiki gods are smiling down on us! Surfintiki- Throw the guy a life preserver if you see him! Not sure if I should glue in a piece and re carve him or leave him be?? He is off with the sharks I think. Basement Kahuna- I guess you can say that I have the carving addiction...can't get enough! Thanks for the inspiration and keep carving, especially those amazing weapons! Johnny P- More pics will be coming soon. I usually carve at night but the neighbors are getting pissed! Took the night off to smooth things over. This weekend they get the sweet sound of CHAINSAW! Cheers, Beachnik [ Edited by: Beachnik 2006-05-23 23:54 ]
