I think I'm done with Wahanui (Bigmouth) here. I found myself doing a lot of smooth work on it trying to get just the right contours. After a brief, yet insightful conversation with 4WDtiki, I decided to put the tool marks back in. I wanted to give the faceting a sort of uniform feel all the way around the piece. I also broke it up some by having some alternate smooth areas (face, neck, hair). I saved hours and hours of work trying to get it super-duper smooth everywhere by having it mostly textured, so thanks for that, Bill. It appears to be a bit wet still on the inside, so I think I better wait a while before staining and sealing it. Bigmouth strikes again!
