Well here is my biggest effort with this one, I wish I could keep going, but as you know bamboo is hollow and I don't want to break it...





This was all the "equipment" I used, no hammer or anything else involved, because bamboo is too fragile and it breaks a lot, so I had to cut and slice very slowly into it.
i've learn a lot each minute I've spend with this, and I appreciate very much all that bamboo has to say, how it makes you work like he wants, and not the other way around. It makes you slowdown, to be able to listen and learn the way, otherwise it will break.... Very interesting! A great workout in the approach to carving, I think. Not that carving should be about this (specially tikis carving), but is good to learn it too, at list I've enjoyed it very much.
