New GREEN LAVA tiki step-by-step - Tiki Carving

It's the only way I can reach all around, but I do wear thick gloves. This stone is too hard to carve with steel tools (they evaporate--literally) but this specimen was not the hardest I have carved. This guy is about 5 inches tall and actually got another round of hand-polishing this morning, so once the sun is up I should be able to shoot another image. There is an all-green lava stone tiki coming soon. Aloha! Marcus
