That didn't keep me from viewing what you guys have been up to though. It also didn't keep me from carvin. I've tried to expand my skills by carving in different styles. Side shot of a Marquesan. I put down the chainsaw and picked up the chisels for this one. Thanks for the influence 4WDtiki. Front shot of the Marq. This was from looking at Doug Hornes work too much. A quick freestyle retro. Easter Isle. Retro. First attempt at a Marquesan bust. I didn't like the eyes and the mouth was too wide. I studied images and tried again with the Marq up top. This was just freestyle. Reminds me of what a Chihuahua would look like if it was a tiki, lol. Side shot to show the chisel detail. Mahalo y'all. [ Edited by: Tiki Republic 2015-04-13 20:44 ]
