seeks, those 'burn lines' are actually carved with a V-chisel, and painstakingly filled in with a small brush and dark stain. But thanks!
Mooney, you expect nothing less of me? Damn, the pressure's ON! 
Here's this guy all finished. I stained it with two slightly different stains, golden oak on the face and body, and medium walnut diluted with some golden oak on the headress.
Front.
Side.
Back.
Then, wasting no time, I started the next one, a fairly traditional Marquesan.

Thanks Thomas, Mooney, Benz, surfin, JP, Billy, kustom, and seek!
I worked on this guy a little at Buzzy's house yesterday, and some more today at home. Here's where it's at.
The lighter parts are freshly sanded, the darker parts have been sitting in the sun for a week.
Notice how my yard is approaching buzzy-yard status.

This sucker is looking fantastic!
I don't know if your yard can be as nasty as the buzzy, but
hanging with him might be where its started.

Rare midweek update! 
I started another Marq yesterday, and made good progress today. Here it it.
Here it is with the first one. All I did on the first one today was the teeth.
