A couple of nights ago, I got a wild hair and thought I'd take a stab at carving. I've carved pumpkins, but that's it. A couple hours here, a couple hours there, and here I am with my very own little tiki. It took me about four hours total, I think? It's mahogany, and I'm just using a Dremel. Still needs stain and all that. I'm already looking forward to doing more.

I've only done a first pass of sanding, I'll probably do just a little more cleanup on it and final sanding & stain tomorrow.

I just posted a bunch of photos and details in Other Crafts, here's the thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=48017&forum=18&start=last&0
