It´s both rough and detailed at the same time, and the contrasting burning brings it out perfect. Thumbs up!

I finished this one today. I know in the pic, it doesn't really look any different from the last pic, but I stained it golden oak, used the propane torch to brown the grain a little, and gave it another coat of golden oak, because it wasn't golden enough.  The sun wasn't out, so I really had to play with the photo editing to get the color to show, and it's still not true. :shrug: You'll just hafta come by and see it!

Bill, I think the general concensus of this one is that it's a Masterpiece! You know, when I first saw you working on this one at the June chop, I wasn't sure where it was going (I don't have your vision for tikis yet!) and thought it had a lot of styles I might incorporate into stuff I would try in the future, but I can only hope to chop anything worthy of sitting in this ones shadow, serious!

Extremely consistant tattooing. Especially impressive are the rings around the eyes. Very difficult to get the first triangle shape to match up with the final triangle after having gone all the way around. Lots of measuring first I would imagine. You are a good geometrist, Bill.

He turned out really good. Can´t you take some more pictures if him? All pictures are from the same angle, he hasn't´t got an ugly wart or something on the other side?

Flat-out awesome! Easily one of the nicest log tikis I've seen all year, and definitely my favourite tattooing job. Beautiful work 4WD!
