Son of Headhunter - Tiki Carving

R Raffertiki Member L.I. Joined: Oct 31, 2003 Posts: 1527	R Raffertiki Posted posted on Mon, Mar 8, 2004 8:47 PM Thanks for the encouragement guys. I will definately post pics of a bird in its mouth once I get them. I plan to keep carving and trying out ideas I have. Who knows, I may turn out to be Long Island's only tiki carver. You better watch the dog, he looks like he is givin' that tiki the eye. She's eyeing the Fosters more like. I used Golden Pecan stain for the teeth and Mahogany for the rest. The teeth did get a second coat tonight to darken them up a bit. I'm also considering staining the bark I left at the bottom. 8FT, Go for it. The best piece of advice I got from this site was to not be afraid to cut deep. I don't remember who posted it, but it made sense to me. http://www.NiceFishy.com [ Edited by: nice fishy on 2004-03-08 20:49 ]
