You really did screw it up. I tell you what - since I'm such a nice guy - you can give it to me and I'll dispose of it properly (in a few years). :wink: No joke - this looks great!

CC Creative Chimp Member Joined: Jul 31, 2008 Posts: 313	CC Creative Chimp Posted posted on Fri, Nov 14, 2014 8:54 AM thanks guys....its been a while but i finally got this one out..made some mistakes which makes me want to cut it in half.....and the wood is sable palm about 5 1/2 feet tall. it dried for a year and a half...not intentional did i let it go so long..LIFE gets in the way. i found i dont like the wood that dry....brittle and stabby in my fingers. like little needles.... thats why the nose is rounded cuz the points under the eyes just chipped right off.. next one is going to be fresher wood and a lono.

CC Creative Chimp Member Joined: Jul 31, 2008 Posts: 313	CC Creative Chimp Posted posted on Tue, Nov 21, 2017 7:22 PM No i didnt rock it thats for sure. But i did learn alot with dealing with a bad log.... lots of knots and imperfections. Even found an old nail. I learned to adapt instead of giving up so no rockin but a better carver now i went through a struggle...... picking better logs next time

Well im just going to shut up and leave her alone because she blew me out of the water....mine is ok (the hei manaia) .... but hers makes me proud she ignored me. FIRST TIME!!! ugh.

4 4WDtiki Tiki Socialite Omao, Kauai Joined: Aug 03, 2004 Posts: 1995	4 4WDtiki Posted posted on Sun, Jul 15, 2018 8:19 PM Those are all looking good! Question on the photo of your daughter, it looks like she's holding a dremel with a pistol style handle, what's the deal on that? Is it a dremel accessory, or is it not a dremel but some similar brand? I use a dremel sometimes, and that handle would make things better... :wink:
