Hang10Tiki stuff

It's fun to see what you have been working on. Wood carving is so much harder than clay. I can fix any mistakes but wood doesn't work that way so I'm impressed when you never have any bad spots. Good job. Wendy

Thanks Wendy
But I have lots o bad spots

Lil piece of Canary wood

(Canary wood typically has a yellowish color
with streaks of orange red and even white and black.
Often used when making fine wood pens.)

So
I guess it will be Canary Bob

Love the information on the wood. We have a Woodcraft store in Sacramento that has every tool imaginable. I love the store. I got a whole lot of carving tools there that I use with clay.

This is going to be fun to watch. Wendy

YIPWON figure

Here we go

Throughout the ranges of hills south of the middle Sepik River in northeast Papua New Guinea, a number of peoples worked in what is known as the opposed-hooks style, in which curved and pointed hooks are arranged on a vertical axis around a central design element. Among the most elegant are the remarkable stylized anthropomorphic hook figures of the Alamblak people that are known as yipwon. Local oral tradition describes the origin of these distinctive images. When the spirit of the Sun, who formerly inhabited the earth, was carving the first slit gong (a large musical instrument), the pieces of wood chipped from the carving came to life as spirits who lived with the Sun in the men's ceremonial house. One day these spirits killed one of the Sun's male relatives and drank his blood, after which they stretched themselves out against the wall of the house and turned back into wood. Angered by their act, the Sun ascended into the sky while the yipwon remained on earth as patron spirits of warfare and hunting. Large yipwon images were owned collectively by clans, while smaller portable examples were individually owned and served as amulets, carried in net bags by their owners to bring success in hunting and battle.

Wow what a great carving. Did you use a skill saw? What's the next step and where will you hang this?
Thank you for the information too. Wendy

Cyber carver- :) thanks bruddah

No kidding about a lot of sanding to do. What you show is just the very top! So many edges. This is going to look wonderful. Wendy

Thanks Wendy
Long day on this one

Wow that looks great. Did you sand while watching the Super Bowl? I have given up watching any TV while doing the Black Velvets. They take such concentration. I bet you have to concentrate too with so many surfaces. Where will this go? Wendy

Hi Wendy
No tv in the garage :)
Just play music while working
Hawaiian, exotica, Dan-0s cds :), reggae, surf bands or whatever
It was fun
And here it is
