tiki fail...

That's that last time I try to put a chisel to any hardwoods. Every time this happens. I'm OK at chiseling palm, but I can't seem to go 5 minutes on hardwood without something cracking and breaking off. I don't know how some of you guys do it. Maybe I'm just too heavy handed. I'm much better with power tools. Back in the old days I probably wouldn't have been the village tiki carver...I would have been a fisherman or something, because there were no angle grinders & chainsaws back then. I've always told people "I'm not really an artist, I'm just really resourceful when I want to figure out how to do something"...

And now I'm feeling burned out.
