RodeoTiki,
My neighbors have too much time on their hands. Even though I am trying to limit my home tiki carving just to sanding, I guess it is too much for them. However, the city came by and said there is no issue.
I'm telling you, a carving bar will make creating you beautiful tiki mailbox a lot easier.
Benzart,
The fine work is coming your way, just kidding. Sorry to get on my soapbox and be a little sarcastic, I'm just tired of hearing anti chainsaw stuff. Maybe I'm just being sensitive.
As for the color on the Moai, all I did was add a few coats of Danish oil. This oil really brings out the characteristics in the wood.
Savage Daddy,
Thank you, I have been trying to make every tiki a little different. Even though sometimes I will use other tikis as references, they are always Santa Cruz tikified as I like to call it.
Tiki 5-0,
Unfortunately, as for my carvings, this is the good stuff. Once sealed they thend to look a little more polished. I'm lucky to have access to redwood burls, the stuff is super beautiful. It seems like whatever you do with it, it comes out amazing.
Thanks Again,
Will
