BT I once thought how great it would be to set foot on Bora Bora 100 years ago with a chainsaw and a barrel of premix, I would be king of the island! Then I thought they would probably kill me in my sleep, shrink my head, and take my shit so forget about it. Here is a small update.
Christmas Day shot before staining.

Mahogany and dark walnut added. Bill Collins/4WD calls stain Magic in a Can.

I used the side of the wood on bottom for the front of the faces, something I learned from will carve.

Middle portion was New Caledonia influenced.

Holes.

Top was modeled after the floats I've been doing.
