T Tikilizard Member Joined: Aug 19, 2006 Posts: 374	T Tikilizard Posted posted on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 3:32 PM Very sweeeet! Fine tech on the war club and Fan Handle? guy. I really like the way you are wing'n it on the design of the Maori figure. Your wing'n it would be about two weeks of hard design work. How long is the War Club and what type of wood are you using to get such nice fine detail? Keep up the wing'n it and can't wait to see it when your done.
T tikimecula Tiki Socialite BFE, KS Joined: Apr 27, 2004 Posts: 453	T tikimecula Posted posted on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 8:44 PM 4WD, I shipped the last two there, So I have no pics of them on the doors yet? Tahitiki, Thanks. It's a slow process but that's what I like about it. Lake, I'll bring him with. Watango, Gald you stopped by. I'm a new fan of yours for sure. Thanks again. TheBigT, However you want to word it...Thanks! Tikilizard, Thanks. The Sali's are about 30" or so? there all a little different. My wood of choice these days is Poplar. I have carved a few different hard woods but like the Poplar not only for the price, but it carves nice and holds detail great. I took the camera out to the shed with me today and grabbed a few shots as I was carving. This was about 3 hours work today. From Sketch to finishing this one part. This circle is about 4" x 4". I sketch the area first, then start the line work, Line work done, Starting the Dragon toothing. Finished that string, And finished, (crappy pics, sorry) There is still a little touch up here and there but for the most part that part is done. [ Edited by: tikimecula 2009-05-02 08:41 ]
