KS ,
good carvings there , ya getting the hang of it alright .
The head style of the tiki , it has the look of Taranaki and /or Pare Hauraki .
Nice , I like it .
Thats a fine bit of wood too
It certainly looks like our Kauri , all pale , no dark grain , and unless it is a trick of the screen , it has that shimmer , that chatoyance , that our Kauri is renown for .
If I may suggest a change of oil next time .
Linseed and Danish have a darkness to them , and as time goes by the wood will darken , and possibly drown out the silken grain . Plus , they stink for ages eh .
Steer clear of peanut , it stinks too , and if a wee kiddie sucks it , and has the allergy .....
A fine oil such as rice bran , grape seed , walnut, olive , etc will do better.
Hold the bottle up to the light , and pick the lightest clearest one .
