Here is my second tiki finished. This was my first experience burning one and it was pretty fun. I wanted to see how quickly I could do this one and still come up with something cool. I didnt even really sand him that much except for some 80 grit after the burn to highlight him.

After some work with the torch. I almost think I should have left him this way. Maybe on a future carve.
In case anyone is wondering his special purpose was added last minute by request of the future owner.
I sacrificed the end of one of my brooms for it.

His body is a little off center but that was so I could utilize the crack that runs through his chest to my advantage.

I'm going to be pretty tied up for the next month so I dont see another one being started for a while but I have a prime log waiting in the backyard.
This wont be my last.
