After helping to teach a friend of mine to carve over the last few weekends...I got the bug again.

37.5" X 11" Dia Palm

Screaming Marq holding a Moai skull

Rough work is done. Finish work will be another 3 hrs or so, then on to tinting & sealing.

I have 10 or more logs that are fresh.

Mahalo!

Wood was in a big box Hardware Store as a 2" Dowel. Thought I would try a different wood than Palm for a change. You can get so much detail into a deciduous or evergreen wood than can be had with Palm.
