Carvings from Frog Island Tikis - Tiki Carving

C cy Tiki Socialite Gresham, Oregon Joined: Mar 10, 2011 Posts: 1666	C cy Posted posted on Mon, Feb 6, 2012 5:55 PM With some inspiration and great advise from Aloha Station I started some small carvings. After the first one was complete I was longing for a chainsaw, a heavy mallet, and some big- ass chisels but the second one went smoother. Also got this basswood carving done and put a coat of Danish oil on a second. This is a plank of basswood and will be the "Surfin' Bird I cut through the side with a chainsaw and then used the bar as a stencil for the longboard. Got a base roughed out for this crazy piece of plum. One good thing about the recent stormy weather was this fallen branch of walnut. "Take a huge piece!" the homeowner told me, so I did.
