To explore the human-tiki look a little more i decided to try and carve a Moai in my own style. Started him last Sunday, first pics are from this morning. Carved some more today and spent most of today sanding. Another painting from a couple of years ago Log found in the woods. Helped it get rid of its could and wet coat and gave it a dry spot in the shed.
