A very nice one. Amazing how quickly you get these done and they all look so right.

someone recently gave me a tip about spraying 'em with wd40 to keep 'em from molding...

He's got great style and personality, excellence abounds!

Very sweet...and very fast. Nice carving!

I'm usually not a big fan of the shell eyes, but this one is done so well I didn't even realize that's what they were until I looked closer. That carve is fantastic.

All kinds of great lines and angles going on around the nose, cheeks, mouth. Gr8 stuff !!!

P

what kinda wood Will?

Sweet stuff

Thank you all for your kind thought.

The Moai is my fave, Mango.
So is the pendant.
Look at the difference in the the color.
The Moai is a 3 in branch & the pendant
is the center 3 in of a 10 in log.

I'm not the first to carve a Tiki guy drummer dude.
This is my version.
It's a solid chunk of oak, 30 in tall/13 in thick.

OK... that TEARS IT!!!

I'm cutting down mom's mango tree...

looks so cool can't wait to see it finished.
i want to carve a full tiki so bad every time
i start i always just carve a head even on a 6" log hahaha

This needs an update!!

P

^ what he said.

Oak?! Oh man, my shoulder is sore just thinking about that. Pecan, same thing. Looks sweet though!

The 6 to 10 inchers go much quicker.
I sure have wacked off bunch of wood
& still have more to go.

You have made so many very cool things but this one just may be my favorite. Really looking forward to seeing this on complete.

I'm with Amate on this one, love it!

H

Waiting impatiently. :)

Awesome Master Will!!!

Ooh looks like it's going to be an amazing one.

This guy is plenty ruffed out.
Detail is hard coming.
This wood is tuff.
I'm going to keep this one simple.

P

wow Will,

that body is coming out really nice...

This guy's on the beat.
I like some parts better than other parts, but
I say that often.
No poly. This Oak has a finish of it's own.
I want to see how it ages.

P

well, needless to say, buy that drum set has had some influence here...lol...

looks good man...
