But I started another tiki in the last couple of days, which needs some small corrections and details and then ...sanding ... I call it the bloody tiki, cause yesterday I got a nasty cut between the thumb and index finger right after sharpening my widest flexcut tool,it's actually the 4th this year, but by far the bloodiest (on the photo it's hard to see the blood stains). It's made from a block of cherry wood. This weekend I also got some bamboo and have some ideas for lamps and furniture enhancements.
