Ok, Got a new guy done today and took progress pics the whole way through.....FINALLY.....after all the crazy al talk I used one of his drawer pulls as a guide...

Now here is the first step....after shaping the top of the head and debarking the log

Here is the rough shap of the top head and nostrils cutout

Now the teeth are roughed in and more shaping of the head

form is done....now sanding and taking out any rough spots

I used a tourch to highlight some of the features and did the final sanding...

and the finished Tiki.....still wet with a coat of spar varnish...

I know it's not carving but I also banged out this shrunken head also this weekend....8x8" enamel on clayboard

Thanks for checkin it out!
