Thanks guys!!! GMAN I am glad you had me do this style as my first carve. I am learning a lot. A lot of trouble shooting too though! I don't know if it really looks right but I'm trying.
Thanks again

Thanks Benz!!! I actually just got your "Malicious" mug from tiki farm yesterday! It's awesome. Next is vicious, then hopefully some of your carvings, and GMANs and other when I can afford it!

Yeah man, looking good. I'm glad you added some more gear to your toolbox. Those Flexcuts and the grinder are going to turn you into a machine. Get out and start reviewing as many pics of Tangs as you can and then see where/what you want to refine next. Keep pushing, digging, and most importantly - thinking. The further you take this guy the better he'll be and the more you will learn/figure out.

Thanks man!! I'm still not close to being done, he still looks like a log to me. I don't think I'm going to use my bench chisels any more on this guy. My flexcuts should be here sometime next week???? So I'm going to attempt to round out his head and back more until I get them.

TikiFreak, Looking Great. Looks like you are off to a great start and on the right foot too,just ONE Thing; WHERES the DUST MASK? You can't stir up that much dust without eating a ton of it. While it may not bother you today, Later down the road it will make you suffer.
Keep up the great work.
