M McTiki Member Sunny Florida Joined: Aug 22, 2004 Posts: 1962	M McTiki Posted posted on Sat, Feb 26, 2011 1:30 PM Thanks Dave! Greats minds.....pfffft. You should still do one! A log. Amate, Thank you! I logged in over 30 hrs of cutting and another 6 or so of finishing...so far. This one, therefore, is a keeper, but, I would certainly attempt copies upon request lol. Mahalo!

N NIxxon Member Joined: Dec 22, 2010 Posts: 496	N NIxxon Posted posted on Sun, Feb 27, 2011 6:32 AM That look great McTiki! Very Nice! What tools do you use to carve all that small detail?
M McTiki Member Sunny Florida Joined: Aug 22, 2004 Posts: 1962	M McTiki Posted posted on Mon, Feb 28, 2011 2:09 PM Nix, I carve with burrs, shaping wheels and Lancelots. I had fun with this lil McMark... Of course a shot for Dr. Benz with stain... Wood was in a big box Hardware Store as a 2" Dowel. Thought I would try a different wood than Palm for a change. You can get so much detail into a deciduous or evergreen wood than can be had with Palm. Thanks again for looking! Mahalo! McTiki

A amate Member Joined: Oct 03, 2009 Posts: 989	A amate Posted posted on Mon, Mar 21, 2011 4:19 PM That moari is very cool. I'm tempted to say "carve deeper" just to be a smart ass. Oops, I just did! He would come apart if you went much deeper than that.
