Is that stump-turned-tiki still in the same place as it was when it was a tree? Up here on Vancouver Island our beaches are full of all sorts of driftwood, many still tree size(too dry maybe?). I've been thinking of trying my hand at carving, and we have pleanty of cedar! I was wondering if anyone has tried Douglas Fir? I seem to remember fir being a softer wood, since my parent's house had floors of it. -Tikiwahine
