So this is my first tiki.... i started carving about a week ago with some trim for my bar and bought a block of basswood. I'm using a flexcut carving kit and just got a dremel... This was mostly done with the flexcuts and then I did some sanding and grinding with the dremel to clean it up a bit. I feel like I still didn't get as deep as I wanted to though and I was wondering what people prefer to use as dremel bits. It seemed like the grinding bits were the most useful. Please feel free to send constructive criticism my way (it's much nicer than unconstructive criticism).

oh- I also used a little torch to blacken the mouth and around the eyes. (That was the most fun i think) and finished it with some tinted wax.
