1.First things first, i like to pick a good solid palm trunk. Preferably cabage(sable) palm or coconut. Washingtonian is ok too but it seems to rot a little quicker. i have never had good luck with queen. It rots the quickest. |

I forgot to mention a sharp chisel is very important. I sharpen my chisels about 2-3 times during a carving. I am also using a cheezy harbor freight wood chisel, so a good set may need less sharpning due to better quality heat treating. If you never seem to get a smooth cut or it looks like the wood fibers are always fuzzy, its probably your chisel, not the wood. |

Lol, my friend JBsurf and i carve together all the time and he uses mostly power tools. He always asks me "why dont you use the chain saw or grinder". truth is, i carved for a few months, seventeen years ago and hadent touched a tiki till about 2 years back. Now im about 10 tikis in and i just feel more comfortable using hand tools. Thats not to say i wouldn't use a power tool here and there when i get tired and JB puts it in my face. Lol. |
