I first sanded him down, then burned the dark areas in going a little light on the burn so the greens would pop. I then used a green water-based stain from Homedepot that I watered down about at about 1-1 and did washes of color. Once that was dry, 2 coats of spar varnish united all the colors with a soft golden hue and he was done! The stain really worked well with the dark spots....blending together nicely.

Just got this commission done finally...been waiting too long. Benzart influenced face (guy loved the eyes on my half and half and wanted them just like that. 12" basswood with acrylic and stain... I'm going to cast this guy and do a small run of resin taps if anybody is interested.

Cool tap & Frankentiki is a unique style around these parts. -But its the Masked-Tiki that does it for me! Its intriguing to see the 'string' back of the head & gets you wondering: what does his face 'actually' look like. A really strange concept; a carved figure hiding his face or pretending to be someone/thing else... Deep. I like it! Tama :)

What did you use to color it? Stain, paint, both? Thanks Bill! I used a wash of acrylic paint thinned with water and then stained over it...I had to add some green stain to get the pop I wanted.

Joined: Jun 12, 2006 Posts: 7763	LLT little lost tiki Posted posted on Sun, Aug 12, 2007 7:44 PM Well, perhaps you're all wonderin what's taking Clysdalle so long to post some new work... perhaps you're thinking that he's lazy... or drunk..... or over it all.... Well the truth is ... None of the above! He's been makin me a custom Cannibal Tiki and i got it this weekend! And it's REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL Good! And I am all Smiley about it! And to think.... that if i didn't beat him black and blue,he would've carved a stock tiki with a stock concept.... :D But No! David rose to the challenge of creating a Cannibal Tiki and even accommodated my wife's request to put a butterfly somewhere on him..... Well here it is! I hope you agree with me that this guy is INCREDIBLE! Here's a cheesecake shot of my lovely wife to give you a size reference.... Here's a closeup of the five holes in the wood that he used as a starting point... Beautiful! Don't you agree? great job Dave!a Million Mahalos! Bob Ross is smiling down on you saying,"Well Done!" If any of you folks are interested..I'll have this tiki on eBay next weekend! :lol:
