Here are some more pix of #6, and Benz I liked the bone theme I saw you use... so well I tried it my self on this one. I also found that palm can be a very rotty wood. I lucked out that it was rotty mostly on the back side this time, so I can hollow it out without too much harm. This also was a mini chainsaw rough-out, then a gouge and a few strait chisels to finish. I'm thinking just leave it chiseled looking for once, not smooth like the rest of my Tiki's. Maybe stain it, and poly, and done. GARDEN ART?
