Morning JP....well, I got some done yesterday. Will try to move on it a little more today. Going to go with metal on the base for this guy, and a few other spots on him as well.


Thanks Marcus, That prop feels good coming from the scull master! I think I might like to stain this tiki in the same fashion you did that last scull. I really liked that look.

Some Sunday morning fun....found ants...Target Lawn Dept...$12. each.


Hey Hodad, I think your right on about the eye sockets...will open them up and fine tune other areas as well.


Hopefully this will help some of you newbie carvers - such as myself....of all the chisels I have, I find that I keep going to these four the most. The 2 curves came in that 4 piece sculpture set that Flexcut sells...Brought separately, the 45 Degree - 1/2" (MC545) is a must. The other is a 1 1/4" straight chisel (MC501). Not trying to pitch for Flexcut...I'm sure there are other fine brands as well...Flexcut brand is just all I have tried to date.
