I got distracted with a lot of things and had to set this aside until I could return to it. I may lose some points for turning it in late but at least I finished it instead of burning it!! OK Danny, How'd I do? After I finished the carving I used my Arbortech wheel to create a concave backside in the half log and reduce the weight of the piece substantially. I chose the colors to compliment the room and other tiki pieces in there. Since this is Tangaroa the fishing god of the Cook Islands, I decided to put a fish net with a few cork floats up on the wall behind the mask instead of just hanging it up by itself.
