I do have the Tiki Modern book - that was my inspiration for starting this project. I guess I am just a little too anal about getting the proportions right. I am also still trying to figure out what to use for the bowls. The instructions say to bandsaw them from some thick chunks of wood - milled stock that thick would cost some bucks. What have you used for bowls on your carvings? Could I use a big stump of wood and then cross cust sections of it to use for the bowls? By the way, another big inspiration for my carving has been watching the evolution of your work on this website. Great stuff!! TikiMitch [ Edited by: tikimitch 2011-11-01 04:50 ]
