By short stumps I mean 16-20"tall and about the same in diameter.I have a few of these laying around and would like to use them for something tiki related but haven't thought up a really good idea yet other than a sea turtle. Any ideas???

I can carve a tiki head into as 4wdtiki said, and that is probably what I might do. I was just wondering what you more experienced carvers would do or not do with a log like this.

Would this type carving be considered a tiki, or does it serve a different meaning in Polynesian art? I ask because I'm learning still and would like to know the whys and hows of things. I'm sure the BOT has some info on this but copy didn't arrive yesterday, I'm hoping it'll come today. I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on that book
