Interesting ideas, thanks people.

I was asked question about sanding. Here's the stuff I use:

I start out by doing cleanup and detail carving with the dremel tool. First, I use the carving bits on the right side, and then finish with the sanding drum. I usually use a 60 grit on the drum

Next I hand sand it,using a quarter sheet sanding block

I start with 60 and go up to 220. I buy the big boxes because I sand a bunch of tikis at the same time

I also use this electric sander a lot. It has all kinds of fancy attachments to sand at all kinds of different angles and spaces

I also have a quarter sheet finishing sander and a belt sander, but I do not use those that much.

Buzzy Out!
