Nice carve Bill!
Your Marquesans have a calming effect on me.
Maybe its the greenery behind it, but this guy is just sitting there real patient, like a silent guardian.
All the lines work together to make this guy pop, not too many cuts, not too little cuts... just the right amount.

Hmm, seven weeks since I last posted some tiki here, I've been Slackin!
But, I went to Billy the Crud's minichop last weekend and got all inspired.
Here's two smaller pieces I finished today.
The left one was started waay back in Oct(?) at HodadHank's Lagoon Chop! I took it to Billy's last week, and added two lines. Today I burned it.
The tiki on the right I started yesterday, finished today. It's burned, not stained.
They both are half-round logs, flat on the back for wall mounting. Both are very light, and could be shipped for cheap!

Nice carves Bill. Very dramatic photos too, looks like something Robb Hamel would paint on black velvet.

Bill, the Marquesan is super pretty. Great lines, and from the front I'd swear it is a full log.
Loving the mask on the left too... great eyes!

Thanks surfin, conga, Mike and Lake!
Mike, check out page 36 of this thread for what I thought was my Robb Hamel photo.
Lake, funny you say that. I had this split log hanging around for months with me not sure how to carve it. Finally it occured to me to treat it just like it was a full round log. Also, all your wall-hanging pieces were the inspiration for me to try one myself!
