Sunday evening Carve.

Hello TC

I am finally getting around to finish this carve I did a few months ago, still need to paint some palm tree on the eyes

I seen this guy coat the tops of his tikis with tar, so i decicided to coat a intire tiki with tar and call it a VOLCANO TIKI hoping that is will look like cooled lava, this carving was a small 14 inch I did several months back just hanging out, so I used it as a sample. I like the idea !

I already have a custumer from this design did nt even have a chance to stain and coat, Thank you TC for showing me the way

Practice make progress have a nice day
