Now remember this was my first carving, so be gentle. I basically have no idea whatsoever what I'm doing. The first picture is the initial carving with a chainsaw The second picture is after some carving by hand. And finally the finished product after some dremel work and a coat of stain. Normally, I dig the more traditional style Tikis, but that looked a little more complicated to do. Anyway there it is. Im working on my second carving, so hopefully it might be a little better. I dig the more traditional styles, but they look rather hard to do. Tahiti Jim [ Edited by: Tahiti Jim on 2003-07-10 21:55 ]
