Back on the carving track. Need some big guys to hang around the Jungalero Lounge and I've been eyeballin' this pic from my inspiration files for awhile now and came across a 6'4" x 16" diameter hunk o' pine several months ago so it's time to get started. BTW, anybody know anything about this particular tiki? I think it's from TV London but not sure--any info or other pics greatly appreciated.

My progress as of Tues. afternoon. Digging out the pie hole:

We're gonna need a bigger chisel!
Off to the Woodcraft store for a nice, big ice cream scoop sized chisel. Hope to make some progress the next few days so check back, jack!
