I can do that. I'll just have to blurr the tools used in some of the critical steps so as not to give away any trade secrets. Thank you for the compliments Mahalo McTiki

Well, due to needed maintenance and weather, I didn't get any cutting in this weekend, but, I did get one stained up. Maybe next weekend... thanks again for stopping by White details are all that is left for this one and possibly a Paua shell inlay. Mahalo McTiki

M McTiki Member Sunny Florida Joined: Aug 22, 2004 Posts: 1962	M McTiki Posted posted on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 4:12 AM Aloha! Ok, I got a few shots in on what I hope to be somewhat of a tutorial on a smaller Basswood panel. 11 X 9 X 2.5 in Sketched: Now, using a course Typhoon 1 in sphere, taking out all but, the detail areas Using a 1/2 in course Typhoon, we get yet closer to the details Then I switch to the 1/8 drive motor using an even smaller sphere to dig out more details. Then various small 1/8 in typhoons to pick off the details starting with what is intended to be the "Near" and then the "far". Everything is cut with depth in mind. Then of course, sanding.... I generally spray the piece down in order to get all of the dust out of it and to let me know where to sand once dry again. I have about 45 mins left on this panel Hope this helps Mahalo McTiki

That palm tree is my favorite part of that last one. Those Tiki guys you draw really work well for you. I love it when a plan comes together. What ever you do, don't stop.

M McTiki Member Sunny Florida Joined: Aug 22, 2004 Posts: 1962	M McTiki Posted posted on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 4:29 PM Thank you guys! I tried to take a pic with the burr currently in use every 30 to 45 minutes. Its not easy to do a tutorial without a Go Pro or something and then narrate it...... It takes as much patience to carve a huge piece as it does for a panel. The difference is your. F^Up factor on a smaller piece. These burrs can dance at 22000 rpm! Whatever they touch...is affected. I have the "oh shit!" Pile to prove it. Oh...Will....the orange palm tree you mentioned was supposed to resemble a torch. You can't tell from the angles shown, but it is originating from the boat floor. Thank you all the same. Mahalo my friends McTiki [ Edited by: McTiki 2012-08-13 16:33 ]

Was that your inspiration for the torch? I got it now. Cool May be we'll get a palm tree some time down the line.
