ALOHA ALL!!! got sum carvin time in tdy!!! this is was more or less a challenge to my self to one, use my small scrap cut offs and two, see how fast i cld carve up sumthin from them and third try sum diff stuff. here is the out come! the fist larger tiki is about 17 in high 9 in arnd. he is the first shot. the nose is diff for me anyway and the mouth is also kinda diff then what i do and the eye headress part is also a change for me. the nose came out ok and the mouth i realy like and the eye headress part is a bit open for what i was tryin to do. but all in all he came out pretty good. p.s. this cut off is in dire shape ! dry and very brittle he fell apart all over as i carved!!! look at his upper lip and u can seee all the chips missin! the 2nd guy is 13 and a hlf in high and 9 in arnd. this one was had better stability but was still very fibourus and grainy! however i feel i accomplished for the most part what i was tryin to do both w the nose and the eye headress area. also i didnt realy have room for teeth but i like his mouth alot!! both tikis took 5 hrs to do w the sanding and burn. ( yes there sanded but it just kept liftin fibers anyway!!). the first is gonna get a small make over then i will thane both and sand again when dry. hpfly that will limit the grain raisin!! thnx for lookin!!! cheerz all!!!
