You are doing this the correct way. My rule is to use Any tool available that will remove wood. All tools can be used for Other things than originally intended. I Love that your "Rock" hammer is now a Wood hammer, Perfect. Skil saw works, but only if a band saw is not available. The wood removal process is the same as the stone removal process. You draw out the design and remove everything that doesn't belong. Take your time and Keep having fun. Use whatever tool you have, they're all fair game. Before you know it you will have an Awesome Wood Hei-Tiki and you will be having to start a "Woodie" list Now you get to do all the "got wood?" jokes too? Ain't Life Grand?
