Welcome aboard Djwirk! Always nice to see some new tikis around here.

I'm sure you will get plenty of input on tools and procedures. I start
with chisels, a carving disc and an arbortech power chisel until I get
things fairly well shaped. Then I'll mask-up and use an angle grinder to
get some smoothing and sanding done. The final carving step is a hook knife
to clean up edges and get some detail. Like I say, you'll get a lot of
tips from the peeps around here.

Let's see some of your bone work...even if not poly-pop or tiki.
