Thanks guys for the kind words! Taking it up a notch tonight... Got a good start on this 5 foot Cannibal Trio pole while watching the Billabong Pro Tahiti on the IPad. The waves weren't very good so I was able to focus a bit more on the chisels.

Whew, that was fun! Nice chunk of pine. Hope to get it colored up before the weekend is out...

Camera angle. I'm only 6'. Boy, no pressure there. :wink: I have my screw ups once in a while, but I guess they are hard for anyone but me to see them. Thanks, I appreciate the kind compliment! I've got my favorites and pieces I'm really comfortable with... Those are my staples, but I've been doing some new "out of the box" pieces that have been turning out alright.

Here he is... 28" H x 8" W. Carved from White Pine what kind of stain did you use on this guy??? again I love the texture... do you add the texture later or just carve him that way?

I used a combination of three different colors of stain on this, some are wiped on and some are brushed. The marks all come from carving.

"Marquesan Tiki" is 11.5" H x 5" W and "The Sneer" is 10.5" H x 3.5" W. The deeper the cuts, the more the red heartwood peeks through.

Yes, I remember you doing some work in Red Cedar in the past. Soft enough to palm carve, and it leaves a nice waxy finish on the surface. And the surprise inside is really cool. Thanks for the kind compliment... Much appreciated!
