Im a new member here & slooowly getting around to meeting you folks & checking out the great artworks. Sorry to go dragging your age into it again, but I have to agree with the others in regards to this... You have made a great start & with so many years ahead of you Im sure you are going to be a chap to watch!! My 'medium' is stone & I really have limited experience with wood, but know that the approach is much the same whatever you use (to quote Benzart -we are just removing everything that aint tiki, haha!) **The learning never stops & after about 10 years carving off & on, am also still learning/developing. Its those undeniable 'Eureka' moments when something new just 'clicks' in your mind. Im sure you know what Im talking about... Anyway, two thumbs up from me. Good on you!! Tama :)
