Ok, well I'm going to be brave and post my firts tiki carving. I know it's not great, I have a long ways to catch up to BK and Gecko. I have learned alot while carving him, if you are working with palm you must make sure it is dry all the way. If not it's a bitch to work with. He only took me three months to do, just because when I started to carve him he was still wet inside. I cut as much as I could with a chainsaw (from the head to the noise)then I gave up and put him away for two months to let him dry all the way. From the mouth down it took me a few hours a day for two days and he was done. I still have to seal him up so he will last a few. I have one more three foot palm left and I'm going to wait two more months just to make sure it's dry all the way.
