Some recent sunsets:

Here are some shots of the last tiki I finished in better light:

Side view:

Here's how I did the arms:

Now he will sit for a while and dry out a bit before I sand him

On to the next one. Full round log for this one, but it'sa short one. Step by steps for step by step fans:

I make parallel lines off the center line on each end. these mark to depth where I'll be carving later on. Right here I removed the sides of the head. What was round, is now flat.

Next I round the edges of the head so its a rounded edged rectangle:

Both sides done, I'l do it to the font and back next:

Now I make the front of the arms:

Bottom of hands, knees, and top of the feet started:

A quick break from all that step by step mumbo jumbo: My dog chases every piece of wood that flies off the log when I'm carving

Now I square off the sides of the legs and start the chin area:

Rounded cuts in the chest sides:

These will help facilitate cut throughs to the back, which I will be executing on this piece later on.

I took out some material on the back of the feet and started the ankles:

A little more rounding with the sander and this is where it is now:

One last picture of the puppy for the road:

She likes to chew on wood chips. Saves a lot of money for me on puppy toys.One of the many side benefits of tiki carving!

Thanks for having the contest... Freddie

Yo Freddie! I'm seeing those altars popping up herev and there these days. Enough that I hope one or two are left intact for archeologists to find in the future. They'd write a textbook about enshrined Buzzy deity!
