Yes, Excellent work for just an Axe. You may want to try some Carving Adzes. Same technique, but much more control and detail. |

I was going to ask the same question as Gecko. You did that all with an AXE? Wow. Clearly your ability to render in 3d mediums extends beyond soap and resin. Nice Job |

Thanks a lot everybody! Since I'm used to making little knick knacks this is quite a change of pace.....I was joking that I should drill a hole in their heads and run a rope through them and sell them as "Hernia Tiki Necklaces"! Bad idea? |

Nice work! I love the newest one with his tongue...great style too. to find wood - call your local tree trimmer or "waste"hauler. The more independant the business, the more likely they are to drop off some palm wood at your house - or tell you where they're going to be when they cut down a palm. good luck! and keep those carvings coming!

Thanks again Polynesiac! Here's an updated one and a new one.....I plan on inserting a smaller sized tiki torch into the top of the moai for outside fun! |

Lookin good suburbanpagan. We can see where the chisels came in. Palm trees suck up tons of silica or Sand as we know it. That is why your tools get dulled so quickly. Sharpen often. |

As always, it's great to get a compliment from Benzart! Your shrunken head is awesome Benz! Never thought of the palm/sand infusion before...makes a lot of sense though. They are blade killers! I have a nice sharpening stone to keep my chisels sharp enough to shave with! If you saw my stubble, you wouldn't be too impressed though! |

it's interesting......these two logs came from the same pile......the one on the left is very fibrous and splintery and the moai is very dense and wonderful to chisel. It got me to wondering.....does the trunk get more dense towards the top? It makes sense to me. |
