Thanks for sharing your tikis Wes, they really look nice. The design is perfect for using your straight chisels. When you get a few gouges, you will see your work change. Keep up the good work. |

Here's a mask I roughed out with a chainsaw in August. I used a palm sander on it today(with one hand). I put a couple of spray on coats of satin spar to seal it. It's pine and is 10" wide and 27" tall. I had to do something today to quit whinning about my damaged hand. |

Great job Wes! That is top notch. Man, if you rough 'em out like that and then use your chisels to detail you could make some pretty heavy duty stuff! Bring it on! -Gman |

Sometimes its nice to bring up old work that wasn't finished and finish it with all the knowledge you have learned. These were early pieces of yours and you have progressed beyond them but you did an excellent job finishing them. Keep it up. your talent is beginning to really show through. |

Thanks for looking! [ Edited by: Moondance 2005-10-28 08:53 ] |

I'm almost done with a reproduction of Finkdaddy wall lamp. I went to Oceanic website to buy one but couldn't get to it. Plus I am very low on cashish this month due to the kitchen refacing. Next is the wiring to be cleaned up and the defused white covering for the front and the bamboo to be installed. |

That is so great! If I did all over again, I would try and do them myself too. I can't wait to see how they turn out! BTW, your tikis rock. I love the last moai and that cool wall mask! |

Moondance, I'm Really glad to see your hand is better enough to do some nice art work. That lamp is great and well engineered to boot. The Moais look great too. You should almost be well enough for some Serious carving soon. |

Still buttoning up the kitchen job but I was still able to finish the wall sconce and it is completed. This is my interpretation of Finkdaddys picture and here are the results. Wesley |

Ive missed this thread for a while! I really love that plank mask you did - a really clean and tasteful style to it. I also love that lamp - funky on a stick. |

Very cool moai! He is very stoic looking, like he has a lot on his mind but has decided not to say anything. Lots of personality. Mahalo for sharing! |

Here are a couple photo's of the papua mask. It's 13" long and it's Redwood. I cut out the lips and inlayed Cherry wood. It took about 2.5 hours to complete. I will finish with a clear satin finish. My computer is taking a dive for some reason so I'll post the finished product when I can. I started on another Moai. I'm about an hour into it. Happy Thanksgiving Day all!
