This is my latest submission to the Cannibal art swap. Carved walnut, Cannibal Fork Pendant. This one threw me a curve by having a hidden bad spot inside the piece of wood (you can see it on the chest. When I exposed that, I didn't want to carve any deeper. The fork is sharp enough to be used as a fork. |

Here are a couple of quick carves in Palm. They need to dry, then I will finish them. 3-5 hours of carving on each. |

Sorry the rootball is spoken for. You can visit him whenever you are in Fort Lauderdale. He now resides at Kreepy Tiki - the coolest tikibar/tattoo studio in FTL! Look for the 20' neon hula girl on Federal Highway by the FTL airport. |

I did those smaller quick carves and had the half of the log waiting. So I put the small guys to the side to dry and dove into the other half. Taking my time and trying some new things. This weekend I got a chance to sand him. |

OK so Will Carve inspired me. After checking out his latest, I went home and chopped off a dead palm frond off a tree in my front yard. The branch was dead and hanging, but still full of water. The ones Will is using are very dry and shriveled - I will use a older one next time. The one I used was very soft and wet. My daughter wanted to have a beach party for her friends, so I brought along a distraction and whittled the frond while enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. 83 degree air and 78 degree water - I love SFL in the winter! I carved a little too deep in some areas, because it was so easy to cut. I was feeding the wood chips to sea gulls that were hounding us for food. They didn't eat them, but watching them fight over them was entertaining. The tiki is starting to warp as it dries - I'm gonna screw it to a board to keep it straight. |

Nice frond carves guys, 'bout time you tried some. What palms are you using? I like the Foxtail palm best. |

I apologize Benz, when you were carving these I thought to myself that it was your skill that made the fronds look so good - that why I never tried one. The first one I did was a green Chinese Fan Palm (too wet), the second was one that Will gave me (just right), the one I'm doing now is another from the Chinese Palm (only this one is dry). I have several Foxtail Palms in my yard and will give them a try when they drop a frond. Here's the latest. |

Definitely an Underused and overlooked media, I want to try some Coconut palm fronds of Size, might be fun.Really glad you and Will finally took the plunge. |

I've looked at the Coconut fronds and I'm not convinced. Will has a Royal frond that looks very promising. The issue is when they dry out - some split, some shrivel into nothing, and some become very rigid. I have a Foxtail that is about to shed a large frond - I'm looking forward to trying one of those. I also want to try a Royal. The palm fronds have re-ignited my desire to whittle with my hook blade and Xacto. They are soft enough to be fun, hold good detail and are overly abundant around SFL. |

OK - so I'm hooked! The fronds are too much fun and the more you do the better you get. Some are better than others - I'm doing some experimenting with different species of palm (I have Foxtail, Coconut, Bismark, Royal, Triple-leaf, curly Q...). There are so many different types of palms in SFL its difficult to name the species. My latest came from WillCarve - he seems to have figured out a good source. |
