I, alas, made this Lono a little bit too quickly ... but so it is finished for the exhibition. With hindsight, I said that there are lots of things I should have done differently. I am greatly inspired by your work and that of seeksurf for this one. I still have quite a way to go. I hope the next will be better! Well here some progress and final shot: first, the log: Chainsaw work... thank's for cleaning! :P chiseling the body... ...the mouth... ....hairdress, hard time with chisel and mallet... ... face done... ... finishing the hairdress, textured body, sanding and stain to look grown old "wood is kept outdoors" Two coat of varnishes And saturday the 8th of may in Paris with the art of the other french Tiki carver: Jimmy Virani's pics :wink: Now a few days of vacation before new projects. Thank's for looking! Have a nice day! Jérôme. :down: and if you go to Paris this month, please go :down:
