Makutiki is a true natural!
Vad är det för trä du jobbar i den här gången? Är det ett bildhuggarjärn från Jula du har föresten? Tyckte dom såg ut sådär när jag fingrade på dom igår.

Tanks everyone! Today has been good and bad for my tiki. Did carve the finnal tuch´s and sand it and all...was happy to have it done, so I went to the paint-store an bought som stain, went back home ,painted....ops, Bad choise....dosnt look good anymore...but its not dry yet, so hopfully it will look better tomorrow. I will put some clearcoat on and I hope that will do the trick.
If not, I´ll just paint it all brown.
Almost done.....
TD: Nej, jag köpte dom av en snubbe som la ner sin möbelfirma. Fina prylar, har kostat multum nya! Tur ska man ha 
Tikigap: Not sure what kind...Have ben asking people hwo "knows" wood, and they all give different answers...(!?) But I think its ash. But I know the small one was pear-wood. Here is a pic on my next log with bark still on.

If this is simple, I can't wait to see you tackle a complex tiki. Hurry up and start prepping that next log!

Tokfrans!!
Man måste ju prova färgen innan! Hoppas det ser bättre ut när det torkat.
Beställde kvalitétsjärn från slöjddetaljer i förrgår.
Folks! Always try the paint on a scrap piece of wood from the log that you have carved.

Let's see how it looks!
I bet I know what's wrong. You're afraid to show us because then we'll all want one, that's it, isnt't it?
Well, I personally don't want one.
I want two.

Before dry.
Dry but matt.
Clearcoat on.
I decided to burn it, even though I had alredy put clearcoat on.
Once again, tanx so much everyone for your support!!
