Thanks, everybody! Polypop, the only thing I could tell you is to remember you're carving "in the round" of the log, and that by varying the depth a bit you can use that to your advantage. Bodies are basically round, but just keep proportion in mind always. And take your time....take weeks if you have to and work at your own pace until it's everything you want it to be. I think people put way too much emphasis on speed. Leroy Schmaltz said that patience is a tiki carver's greatest attribute. Oooooooommmmmmmm
