Swanky creates elaborate firewood - Tiki Carving

Sanding caused chipped teeth which I superglued back. No telling how that will look when stained. I will do a tiny bit more clean up. Every time I pick it up I am unsatisfied with the sanding work and do more. I can never get anything finished! Soon. Very soon. I started with 80 grit, then 150, 200, 300 and 400. That fixed up many issues, but also highlighted others that got out the chisels and knives and fixed. Added depth to cuts here and there and got rid of bad spots. Folding the sand paper allowed me to get in some crevices, but not completely.
