Need help with a Witco style fountain - Tiki Carving

I came across a 6 1/2' pine log and am attempting to carve a witco style fountain out of it. I need help with the dimensions of the bowls that the water cascades into and the carved box at the base where the water collects. Also would like to know the dimensions of the tongue block where the water comes out. If anyone knows what the measurements are for these I would be very grateful. Also, any suggestions on waterproofing for outdoors in the midwest would be very helpful. I had planned on burning it with a torch for color and then some sort of UV protection and then soaking in linseed oil. This is my first large scale carving and will hopefully find a happy home in my back yard. Tikimitch
