TikiMango's Carvings- P31, Bone Hawaiian Tapa Hook - Tiki Carving

Currently I don't have the space, tools, or time to really get into carving, but I hope to very soon. In the meanwhile, here is my first attempt at relief carving. This was a teak(?) serving platter I found at the local thrift store. It's 6"x13", and I managed to hack at it with some crappy "wood carving tools" from Michael's art store. It seemed like I had to spend 5mins of sharpening for every 3mins of carving. The nose didn't turn out the way I wanted, so I introduce to you the W.C. Fields Moai. Pupule Tiki!
