New Tiki carver.

Just finish my 4th Tiki. First with a chainsaw, pretty stoked!

Nice "compressed" look. I like the nose, very stylized yet clear. I am uncertain about the dots around the eyes. And I like the palm tree bark left on the bottom.

Ditto what Bigbro said.

Looking good for beginning Tiki carver.

Thanks Guys! I was trying to decide what to do with the base. Loved the texture so decided to leave it. The dots were just reference. I was trying to decide if I wanted to put etchings or face style tattoos around the eyes. Think I have decided against it. Also made feet to keep it off the ground while it continues to cure. Indoor piece so leaving natural wood. No staining, poly or burning as I have seen in others.

Looks very good for your 4th one. My advise is don't be shy about going deeper on your details. we'll have to get together some time.

keep 'em comin'...

go deeper!
