hope u guys like these any questions or if u want one contact me o.k....

Those carvings are awesome - I love them all. Thanks for posting more of your work.

When you carve the airated concrete, do you use special tools or just the regular wood chisels and such?

to carve these i just use normal hand chisels u would use for wood working,files &sandpaper etc The only power tool i use is a pneumatic speed file (sander)which i have for doing auto body repairs.Because im to lazy to sand of the outer finish (looks like render almost )by hand to get to the airated concrete(volcanic look)underneath.This material is very easy to work only downside is u may sharpen your chisels etc more often to keep a nice sharp edge &get a nicer finish ......gav...

Gav, Thanks again for posting these pix. Really like your work and would love to see more.
You know we Never get enough.

Gav,

Are you offering the tiki body with spear from earlier posts? I've got a corner that would be perfect for one!

Kanaka

Gav ain't offerin' THAT one 'cos it's in my doorway and it's stayin' there!!

Maybe he'll just have to make somethin' a little like that though...
