WOW! Man, you are a natural. I especially like the big Lono. Looks like he's hundreds of years old. What kind of stain/finish did you use on him? Looks very nice. |

Tanx all! It sure is good being at TC! Here in sweden most people ask me why im interested in troll´s, ore why I spend time playing whit those indians....! :( :D S-n-t: Im not realy sure what kind of paint it was...as I mentiond earlier it was a lucky misstake, but It was grey and water based. We call it "Lasyr" in swe. but I dont know how to translate that. Here is a closer pic. A-akua: What I realy ment was a cooking-torch, like this... |

Makutiki, Ditto what everyone else said! Glad to see you Finally finish this Lono, he turned out FanTastic, Very Well done. You need to spend MORE Time Carving so it seems to me! |

hey man i was going to try to draw it out and carve one similar to your small guy but right from the beginning it took a wrong turn. i think it was the wood that i was using because it was just not working. that or its me and im not too sure how to fix that. |

congatiki:Tanx! I like big tikis too! It´s the nice slow process I like the most. And that you get to use your whole body, almost like a gym-workout :D TikiDuddy:Dont give up yet, try it with smaller tools and better wood! To make the small tiki, I only used "small" tools, so the picture lies a bit with them big tools in front. Some progress on my 2nd. |

Makutiki is a true natural! Vad är det för trä du jobbar i den här gången? Är det ett bildhuggarjärn från Jula du har föresten? Tyckte dom såg ut sådär när jag fingrade på dom igår. |

Tanks everyone! Today has been good and bad for my tiki. Did carve the finnal tuch´s and sand it and all...was happy to have it done, so I went to the paint-store an bought som stain, went back home ,painted....ops, Bad choise....dosnt look good anymore...but its not dry yet, so hopfully it will look better tomorrow. I will put some clearcoat on and I hope that will do the trick. Almost done..... TD: Nej, jag köpte dom av en snubbe som la ner sin möbelfirma. Fina prylar, har kostat multum nya! Tur ska man ha :) Tikigap: Not sure what kind...Have ben asking people hwo "knows" wood, and they all give different answers...(!?) But I think its ash. But I know the small one was pear-wood. Here is a pic on my next log with bark still on. |
