Well thanks for a lot of advice and tips everything i've read has helped in one way or another. Not only is this my first picture post but aslo my first tiki. Hopefully the pics show up.
Thanks again for all the advice.

Here's my 40in by 15 in Mexican Fan palm log

Progress after my first day

Next day refining

I only used the aqua net for the back and the fuzzies, I bought a cheap little torch for all the detail burns. I just thought this looked cool.

After Burning

A little walnut stain from a friends garage...

It's 8pm and my tiki is currently air drying...

I started with a new untouched log yesterday morning and have a tiki I'm truly proud of today. I used a variety of tools from a small electric chainsaw to an assortment of hand carving tools.

Any advice is desired and appreciated, thanks again for all the educational posts.
