wow this is an inspirational thread!!

i wasn't going to post any pics on this tiki i'm working on until i had something decent to show, but this thread has inspired me...

here we have my attempt at your classic "Reloy" as inspired by Leroy and Aaron's Akua in threads gone by...

but just as i get to the bottom of the mouth i uncover some flaws in the centre of the log:

now i'm not sure whether to keep going deeper or just patch it up with filler later on... any tips? i have no idea how i'm going to sand the inside of that mouth either!

thanks!
