I hope this post is in the right spot, I've been super reluctant about posting my carvings. However, I was working on a full body 4.5" Ku, the first actual full body I've carved, and ran into a snag. Carving fan palm mainly with a chainsaw, the center of the wood still had moisture in it, and as a result after removing large sections of wood, the log has cracked as it dried. Now keep in mind I don't carve all day everyday or make a living carving, but I'm super bummed and looking for advice on how to fix this. I got the body mosty carved, and as I stood it up to take a look I heard a slight crack. The base(feet) cracked and is 90% broken off.. I don't really wanna cut the body off, or cut him off at the knees, but now he won't even stand on his own. Someone please give me advice! Thanks again, Adam
