Hewey's wood thread - Making a Paipo p20 - Tiki Carving

So, to make it look like he’s made of lava, I carve in grooves. I will paint the whole thing bright red, then paint the flat sections black so the cracks stay red. Still not sure if it will work yet! I picked up this embossed leather tiki stool off ebay, US$13! Side: How nice is that design? Detail shot to show you the scale. Between buying a car, picking up a stool, working back late for work, the pirate hasn’t progressed. Worse still I am working all day Saturday for my day job, and covering a car show on Sunday there’s no spare time there. Oh yeh, I also have to sell the bug sometime too.
