Here's a pic of a Wood carving I've just completed. it is a 'Tiki' Frog. Since I could not find any reference to a Tiki Frog anywhere, I created my own! I carved it with hand tools on Walnut, finished with a light coating of linseed oil. I'd value any opinions! [ Edited by: CondorTiki 2005-07-17 00:19 ] [ Edited by: CondorTiki 2005-07-17 00:23 ]

The frog is neat but you should make one of your namesake also. Hopefully it wouldn't lose the tiki and turn totem pole. Love the bamboo bottom of the frog guy a lot.
