OK, Heres day 2 working on the next Lono's headdress.
Start out marking out all the corners and centerlines so I'll know where the headdress support 'Sticks" are and how large they will be.
Then Start with the 1/2, #5 gouge hooked to the recripricating power chisel. (Its like a little jackhammer in your hands!)




Then define the center of each side with the Power V-liner





Then using a small sanding drum, smoothe out each section of the headdress




Then lay out all the pointed "banana" parts of the headdress(since the headdress looks sort of like a stalk of bananas)


One thing important here, when layong this out, it is Very imperative hat all the points line up vertically and horizantally. If they don't it will be Very obvious and will look like crap. Don't count on the ancient ones to help much here cuz they were poor in the math skilz and you will do better alone if you have this book.

Then with a mini 3/16th straight chisel and the hook knife, begin to remove the notches between each "bananna" part of the headdress


There you have it.
