Carvings from Frog Island Tikis - Tiki Carving

C cy Tiki Socialite Gresham, Oregon Joined: Mar 10, 2011 Posts: 1666	C cy Posted posted on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 3:31 PM I had a week off with lots of stuff to do around the house so what do I do? There are times when I love carving palm and think it's like cheating and 2 minutes later it seems like I'm trying to carve a mushroom. This one came about after a conversation with Will carve about how different a tiki comes out depending on if you start with a square or round blank. He suggested starting with a triangle (Why didn't I think of that?) Here is the odd result. This is the start and decided to do the whole body triangle instead of just the head. I used a piece cut out for a tiki-mask-shield. I will let him dry out a bit then complete.
