Aloha,

I made my first attempts in carving this weekend while being bored at work =)

Nothing fancy, as I've seen in other first carving posts, but thought I'd share this with you.
I took the photos late at night with bad lighting.

I made this one only with the small blade of a swiss army knife, the wood is from an about 2 inch long toy sailboat:

the second one is made of the same wood, but I went to buy some carving tools:

Then I started this, which is far from finished (and I'm not sure if I'm going to like it yet):
Note the small blood stain =)

Since all of this was more or less a quick start without any plan or sketches, I am going to look for sources for better (larger) wood and find more advice and inspiration.

Oh and, I'd like to seal these 2 small tikis, do you have any recommendations ?

Mahalo,

Bobo
