My first carving under the guidence of Mr Tiki Beat This is my second tiki carving. I was sick of working on the project car, so spent a little time hacking out my take on a Moai. It's carved out of an Iron Bark (local hardwood eucalypt species) log round and finished in decking oil. About 700mm high. Used an arbotech blade in a 4 inch grinder to rough it out and then finished it off with the mallet, chisels, sandpaper and a lot of elbow grease. Cheers Grimbo :D [ Edited by: Grimbo 2013-04-03 02:15 ] [ Edited by: Grimbo 2013-08-29 02:51 ]
