Your first wood piece was very advanced with excellent detail, Accurate as well as deeply carved. Why did you wander away from wood to stone, was it a matter of your job putting you in the thick of the granite world? No Matter, you are doing very well at it and your faces are getting strong personalities. Looks like when you finally decide which way you want to go as far as what to carve, you will be one force to recon with. My vote is for you to study tiki images and just GO Wild carving tikis. Thereare LOTS of tiki people around who will be glad to support your efforts.. Quote "and a close up on the one that still together. and here are some tiki's started, they are cut out with the 5" blade on a hand held grinder. hope this hasn't bored too many of you. " Quote I think you have done the Opposite of Bored most of us so CRANK IT UP! hAPPYhAPPYhAPPY
