Very vintage looking both in texture and design and the fact it only took 4 hours is awesome! I'm curious about carving the concrete - you say you don't have to use a mallet, so that means the concrete is still pretty soft? is it dusty, like carving AAC or does the dust only start once the mixture really begins to dry? Sorry about all the questions, but I've wanted to do a concrete tiki for some time, and my lungs can't stand the dust (like what AAC produces) even with top notch protection masks. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you produce!!!!
