Your Tiki is looking good so far, Mailman. Keep on carving!

What do you not like about it?!

thanks for the credits..I like this tiki..
only what to do with the head.
I mean hair or no hair
color I dont like maybe fernis.[I hope I spell this right]
I haven t got not many examples here in Europe.

I'd say to use chisels to widen/deepen your lines, and clean up the symmetry a bit in some places. It's a good start with lots more potential! Keep going!!

GO DEEP!! That log should be able to handle some deep detail. One tool that is used alot is the angle grinder with a sanding pad. If you have access to one I suggest using that. Good luck.

thanks for the advice.. only now I get to deep and broke his mouth...
I have got allot to learn.May bay I can fix it?[carve or not to carve]
