Wow! See...you came to the right place. Lots of good advice around here. I Like what Benzart said, just do what you're gonna do, and you'll be alright. You'll find a natural progression.
As far as wood...Man! You're probably surrounded by it! You can find so much character in the grains of various woods, instead of the same ol' same ol' palms. (no offense palm people!) I started out with basswood, which is great for carving, but just a straight forward kinda grain. Now I look for stuff like red cedar, my fave, which carves just as easy, but with fantastic natural art-beauty built right in!
Keep doing the ones your doing now, they look great, especially the tiki torch holders, love 'em, but keep on trying some new stuff.
And above all...buy the "book of tiki"!
