Carvings from Frog Island Tikis - Tiki Carving

C cy Tiki Socialite Gresham, Oregon Joined: Mar 10, 2011 Posts: 1666	C cy Posted posted on Sun, Oct 13, 2013 3:31 PM Thanks pjc and MadDog, I like the eucalyptus a lot and started a few new ones. I've never encountered a stranger wood to work on, with bends, knots, splits, twists, and hardness that's hard to beat. Appreciate you checking in Marcus and Big T! Thanks so much TikiSkip, I like to mix it up to avoid boredom and drawing and painting helps my carving and vice-versa. I took Buzzy's comment as a compliment and also a keen observation that made me look back a bit, rather than charge ahead towards the next one. I realize that I like to stack things to tell a story, a bit more totem than tiki. Here is an update. My son added the turkey feathers and beard to finish "Tom" The last few weekends have been spent on "Monk". (because he's holy) It is a piece of fir from my neighbor. A little work along the way on this cedar stump. Here is the euc I told you about. [ Edited by: cy 2013-10-13 18:03 ]
