L laojia Tiki Socialite Metz Lorraine France Joined: Feb 04, 2009 Posts: 952	L laojia Posted posted on Mon, Aug 30, 2010 9:21 PM Thank you CC! I'm sure you gonna find good sensation with bone carving. Dont forget to share your progress working! :D Also thank you Sensei carver! The toolbox has served this weekend (see below) and curved knives are not ready to be ranked ... :wink: Keep cool Bennno, you gonna meet God in few week in Belgium. :roll: :lol: Yes coconutzo, I've made this tools myself. The cutting angle is enough obtuse to "fit" into the bone with thin chips. For the moment the cut is good and I did it to be easy to sharpening. I use all the same a flexible shaft to draft and rough the work, the knives are then used to clean surfaces, finishing détails and carving concave areas. If you're interested, I can see to do for yourself or for others. I'll think to find a good price. As promising somme pics of the weekend event in Germany: The Tiki Tribe stand: Thank's to Akuae, Tikiller and Coxico ( the Elsass Crew!) for setup and decoration The Tiki Tribe banner: Close up: The most clean stand of the event: With Coxico (men at work!) Seb' Tikiller at work: blah blah blah.... :roll: Akuae trying to finish a tiny Moai for a customer: Product of the day: With the carvers: More pics on the Tiki tribe thread in "other event" forum Have a nice day!

L laojia Tiki Socialite Metz Lorraine France Joined: Feb 04, 2009 Posts: 952	L laojia Posted posted on Fri, Sep 17, 2010 11:11 AM Week update! Thank you CC! We often get the impression that the finish is ungrateful to achieve but it always bears fruit. Thank's again. Thank's for kind word Rhys. I just try to find another sensation that wood ... and by dint of thinking I might try to scratch the rock one of these days. Have a nice austral summer, and don't forget to clean the workshop, you have a visit from old europe soon... :roll: Thank you Tikilizard! Yeah Surfin'! Not! Not a museum piece! He is all new! Not even dust over... Thank you Tang master! :wink: Also thank you Tikigodz! "Wise and content" ... Like a man in his tikibog :D ... Thank you Craig! Also thank you Clarita! It is true that this makes these beautiful plum trees ... I promised my wife to wait long before carving! Thank you Amate! It was carved from a birch branch. It has a nice crack from behind but I think it goes well anyway. Random pics of the last works finished: First, a pink ivory hei tiki: Some quick carving, the different mood of tiki bob: My first twisted bone finally monted with a tiny hei matau: in fact it merely serves to light the lamp... And finally two twisted bone pendant. The first I made, on the left, have a mistake on the design and a little crack behind, the second is a little better: If the sun goes down here, he must also rise up somewhere... Have a nice day! J.
