I thought it would be time that I would start my own carving thread. I will post pictures of other projects as soon as I remember to take pictures of them.

Here´s me getting some free wood. Unfortunately my big ol pick up truck was at the shop so i had to manage the situation like this. No, just kiddin, i don´t even have a license. This is my daily ride.
About the wood, I don´t know the name of it. But It´s fast growing according to my father who works a lot with trees so it should be soft to carve.

I am working on a larger Marquees log but i took a break with a fast moai.
I´m calling it "The surprised Moai". But it looks a bit like a blow up doll.
Here it is at the shop.

I made it partly because of the burning techique i wanted to try for my bigger project. The plan was to burn it heavy and then brush it with a steel brush to get out some structure and grain

After brushing it, my friend holding it up. Later i stained it too dark, the plan is to mount it on a leopard plaque (witco-like) and ad a burned bamboo frame.
Can´t say that I´m satisfied with the result, but it came out ok with the tools that i had.

I´ll add images of another project on Thursday.
