I would love it if my wife started carving. But then she would probably be better at it than me, so scratch that, she's already better at alot of stuff! |

Whale Rider, That is so awesome and lookin' very very cool. It is rad to see you getting in there and givin' it the Whalerider umpf! Did you use nothing but chisels? Are you getting warmed up for Benzart visit to SD? You go girl oowa-oowa. ( I didn't really just say that.) Spermy... you must of saved a village from mauraders or did something pretty dang nice in your previous life to find such a cool girl in this one. She mixes delicious libations, she carves, she has a great sense of humor and personality. Your karma is rockin'. You did good my boy... Can I have her? It doesn't hurt to ask right! :D Just kidddin', You guys are like two trippy peas in a far out pod man. I would like to quote the great philosopher and imbiber of drink Spemicus Whalopolis "Cool girlfriends are hard to find" |

Hello All, To answer some of your Questions; I have about 6 hours into in as of yesterday, however that's mostly carving out the mouth. I,m told that the wood is Ficus (I guess that's a tree) It's really hard wood. Thanks to Aaron's Akua for the log. I have been using mostly a 1 1/2" chisel, however I did try a dremmel (too slow, the wood is too hard - this would take months) and I tried a hatchet (too big, this log isn't large enough to take out big chunks). I finally settled for making a few cuts with a chain saw for the depth in the mouth and then chiseling out the rest. I worked at the hospital all day today so I haven't made any more progress. I'll post more pics when I do. Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words. |

Hello All, Here are a few more pics. I think it's pretty close to being done. I have some more sanding and burning to do and I'll probably try some stain, but this is basically it. There are some things I wish I would have done differently, but I guess I'm pretty happy with tiki #1.
