Byoootiful one! Love the time lapse, too: The birth of a "Tiki"

I am almost afraid to suggest a thing layer of aging for the piece, cuz I don't wanna risk it getting messed up. :)

Great video and a beautiful Abelam. From the photos you can't tell that it's 7 FEET TALL!!! With the time lapse, your chain saw looks like a light sabre :lol:

Its good to see you here. The video is excellent!

I also agree with BigBro adding some aging/petina will really make it POP.
