L laojia Tiki Socialite Metz Lorraine France Joined: Feb 04, 2009 Posts: 952	L laojia Posted posted on Sun, May 23, 2010 2:16 PM This technique of carving "step by step" with each finishing stage is quite strange and very interesting... This seems to be a gift that you discover a little hunk every day... And what's next? Can't wait to see the new gift from your skills!!! J.

Clarita - Mahalo for your support tikimecula - thanks i just take my time. buzzard - you desert dog thanks laojia - Mahalo you never know what you will get with each layer. This headdress is taking longer than waffle head.
CJ Captain Jack Tiki Socialite Neotsu, OR and Sun City, AZ Joined: May 01, 2010 Posts: 360	CJ Captain Jack Posted posted on Fri, Jun 11, 2010 11:35 AM I love the roughness of the gouges that you leave in there! They are complimented quite well with the smooth parts .... it seems the desire for tiki carving is to gain the smoothest surfaces as possible, it's nice to see a quality statue that is still rough around the edges! Very well done!
