Hello Tikimaniacs, "THE WOODPECKER" the design rough shape sanding the surface working on details chamfer the cutting edges to avoid splintering after cleaning the surface by sanding it i add a layer of shellac to avoid further contamination add more details now i apply the decoration one of the last steps is to put in the eyes(i always put in the eyes after chiseling. the eyes make the tiki become alive and i dont want to chisel on a living tiki :) ) now i apply shellac and the tiki is finished!

thanks for the detailed steps. Are you using the masking tape as a guide or to protect the wood from your gouge? |

Very cool Rio. Interesting how you shellac it before you do the detail work then again when you are done. Smart! |

It was worth the wait for an update RIOTURBAN - Great, precise work as always! What kind of wood are you using for this one? |

Excellent stuff. I think it's time you got familiar with the Hook Blade which I use almost exclusively. It has greater leverage than any other blade but should only be used with bandaids readily available as it Will bite you if not careful. |
