Cheeky Girl's Carvings - Tiki Carving

It's just about finished. This is what it looked like at the end of the day. I continued to go deeper around the eye and nose area. The nose looks a lot better, but I liked how the nose looked back in April. I want to complete the texturizing of the tiki. I dig that gouged look. I'm going to continue the leaf pattern around the top and back side of the tiki. Then the plan is to sand and smooth the rough edges. Age it a bit with a mini butane torch. Then Ta-da, I will finally be finished with my 1st tiki!
