Mahalo !!! glad to see a carver. That piece is very smooth what kind of wood?

The wood is Poplar, quite dense when wet and pretty stringy. I was pleased to find out it actually cuts pretty well. I assume it will crack profusely as it dries.

Sorry couldn't resist :wink: :wink: :0

Great carve! That would color is very cool, will it darken much as it dries??
