Finished sanding. Lots of pictures because there is much to see...

Upper headress, pain in the ass...

I do not know anything about history. If Hawaii was ever called French Polynesia, then this is a "French" braid. If Hawaii was never under French control, then this is a carving of this type of bread that they sell at a Jewish restaurant in La Mesa...(Save the learn your history rants-this is a joke!!!)

These windows were really hard to do...

Face

Lot of geometry here...

Blurry

I saw that TikiG found a "tribute" piece of his work online recently. Someone please try doing this one, I'd be interested in seeing how it turns out...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I obsessed over almost every detail on this one. Why? I felt I had to...

You really need the right kind of tools to do some of this $#!^

This design's inspiration was based on merging freeways, gridlock, and the realization that they all lead to the same place...

I can't tell what the hell is going on here! Doesn't look tiki to me...

Body-looks plain compared to all that other stuff going on above it...

Little mood lighting...

I learned a whole lot carving this one. I really challenged myself and am happy with the result. There are still a few areas that need improving, like the arms. Most of this was carved about two months ago, and I concentrated on the arms on my next few pieces since then. Always working on my weaknesses...
The whole puzzle is put together one piece at a time; the carving is made by taking away one piece at a time...The yin yang relationship of carving.
My journey continues...

I'm Buzzy, and I'll be appearing here nightly on TC...
