So it finally got cool enough to finish my first full body tiki, and he's also my largest so far, about two feet tall and eight inches in diameter. I tried to leave some of the divots left by the spikes on the feet of the tree trimmers, incorporating some and just leaving others in the middle of stuff. The middle of the log ended up drying out pretty bad and getting all stringy, making it a real bitch to sand/stain/seal...

Next up will be another larger one. I got a Lancelot for my grinder, so we'll see how that works out. The thing looks monumentally dangerous - I may be making my next post from the hospital.

Thanks for looking...
