This one took a little longer to carve and finish. I used a real dark stain and then sanded after it dried to bring out the grain and lighten the color a bit. Thanks to Kaha ki'i from Laguna Beach for the encouraging words and yes Tiki #3 is going to lead to #4 cause the wood is on the driveway drying out. I wish the neighbors would stop cutting down palm trees and putting them out for trash/landfill pick-up. I am getting lots of ideas from the forums so thanks for your posts and pics. KEEP YOUR CHISELS SHARP AND BANDAIDS CLOSE ! BUFF Update on tiki #3 showing eyes with more highlighting done after several appreciated suggestions from fellow posters. Also Tiki #4 shown along side.
