TM-
Great job on those clubs and really clean lines.
I'm looking for some cherry to try one out. You can't find cherry like that at a homedepot.

TM, I like how you did the dark surface stain over the lighter "crevice" stain on the Apa Apai. Nice touch - looks like it got grimed up from years of use.

Moon, BK,AA Thanks for the kind words! Started another Club(s) today, I hope it works out like I planed it (I might be in over my head on this one?).

After a 3-4 month break. I finally had some carving time the last few days, here is a Cula Cula I started a few months back. Should have it finished up this weekend.

I am impressed with the detail carving. How do you get it so precise?

Wow! My eyes are straining just from thinking about carving all those lines. Are you using a Dremel?
