Alright, here's my first carving attempt. After looking around at everyone else's carvings here I am humbled. I had a LOT of fun with it though, and I don't think it came out too bad considering the shape of the log to begin with :). While I wanted a more ornate piece, it turned out as a very weathered looking Moai :)...or at least that's the way I see it. Any feedback is MOST welcome :). Let me know what you think :). Also, I swear it has a nose you can see...musta been the camera angles :-/. [ Edited by: charlie_kaneintx on 2004-10-21 19:51 ] |

It;s funny how the log can dictate the shape some times. You did right by not fighting it. Now onto your next log. Chop chop chisel chisel. Oh, and nice start, [ Edited by: Raffertiki on 2004-10-21 20:03 ] |

Haven't found a second log yet. Tomorrow though, I will have a new log, oh yes, a new log. Hopefully a harder wood, I'd love to put some teeth on the next one :wink:. Thanks for the feedback guys/gals :). |

Hey Charlie, That looks great for your first. You will find the wood dictates a lot of what you do. You did the right thing, letting it have it's way. Take plenty pictures because you will be proud of this guy for a Long time. |
