Nice looking necklace. Inlaid eyes would be really cool. That looks like a pretty hefty log you have started.

Great recovery on Tiki 3. It has turned into a beauty! I have only been at this about 3 years and have made several patches and salvaged many mistakes. Just keep carving... you will learn and improve with each new piece.

I came to a standstill with my carving. So I did have another job to go onto to.

This Friday is my son's school's 50th birthday and they have to dress in 1960s gear so what better than a 1960s Tiki themed t-shirt.

I have never done one before but I got one of his t-shirts and a pencil and a sharpie and did a Ed Roth & Ed Newton style design.

What do you think? I'm afraid to colour it.

Back onto the tiki - slight progress. Wouldn't mind a pyrography kit to do more detail.

I sanded the back of it a bit and noticed the wood has an interesting grain pattern.

I'm not sure what type of wood it is as I found it at the side of the road, cut up after it had been knocked over in a storm

Thanks for the comments

Regarding the pose, for some reason after I carved him he reminded me of an incan mummy I had seen somewhere. I couldn't remember where exactly I had seen it, I did a search and found the mummy.

I carved more detail into the skull, then torched it.

THe tiki went pretty black and required much sanding. I will need to redo some of detail lines around the eyes and forehead

Started on new project of hollowing out a log. This log is very dense and really tough, I found chisels and my useless chainsaw totally inadequate so used an old wood auger brace drill to make a few holes.

So now what? Good question.

I knew the carbide bits for my die grinder would do no good much too slow so I needed another idea.

I found a router bit and used my bench grinder to make it fit my die grinder and it is going through the wood at a good rate. After an hour I was about a third of the way through the log.

Thanks Ben

A few places I couldn't sand properly so I used the torch to burn it a little and darken it.

However when the smoke cleared tiki had changed.
Some of his mouth had gone his nose had gotten smaller and his eyes changed expression - oops. However now he has an rustic charred look of sorts will post pics soon.

I understand why you burned him but have to say there are better ways to get the same effect. Burning wood may be an "authentic" way of getting a "patina" with wood, but it is also the most destructive. For smaller pieces I prefer using paint or stain. It is much easier to use and control (plus it doesn't smell as bad).

Little one just needs stain and maybe a bit of pyrography

It's been a long while since posting, I've been pretty busy, However I still have been lurking around.

Your work on the small stuff is so detailed. I'm always amazed at how people who work on such small items can create such detail. I love the lanterns too. How are you hollowing them out? (if you don't mind me asking)
