Started this 7 footer today. He's based on a TiKi that I saw in Sven's Book Of TIKI. I carved a little deeper than I planned and hit a soft spot....we'll see how this one turns out.

some more work on this guy today

carved a little too deep, mushy and stringy in the middle. This guy might find a home in my backyard... we'll see.

Just a mask, but it's my first successful attempt at a Marquesan....I've tried before, but they always change into something else before I'm done.

Be careful with the Marquesas. They can become very addictive. Very nicely done!

Playing around with a little paint....stained him first, then added some paint, then a little sanding and more stain

this chunk of 3x10 doug fir has been laying around my garage for years.
I just had to try out a Witco-ish carve on it. This is the rough cut...we'll see how it turns out after some
flap disk angle grinding, torch and stain.

Nice stuff.

You even inspired Bai to make a mug of one of your carvings!!!

You have ARRIVED.

S
skootiki posted on 08/24/2015

Thanks cy......a pretty simple carve and I was happy to see that he turned out to have some personality or character or something...I never know because they kind of evolve as I carve them.

Thanks to you too GROG.
Yeah, I was very flattered when Bai asked if she could make a mug inspired by one of my carvings. She even came up with a great name for him "Kanuha-the sulky one"

I've come across an un-used telephone pole, actually 2 pieces of the same pole. One's about 17' and the other's about 8'........any of you carvers out there ever tried to carve one of these?

It sure will last a long time.
They are tar infused some how.
