Tiki Ano the carving section is a bit dangerous so I am pleased that you are brave enough to explore the depths of the TC jungle. Hear me now and believe me later, this one is the first I have done without the use of a chain saw. Not that I set out to accomplish that feat, it just did not come into play on this piece of mahogany. Also roughed out the spear heads with a jig saw. Almost done with this piece of jelutong. I highly recommend this wood if you can get hold of it. Almost like bass wood but a bit harder and has a great yellow color, but sanding it has made me sneeze. I want him to look simple and will just put a few clear coats on to finish.
