Finally #2 is done!!! Well except I still have to glue the eyes! Here are some pics of hair progress (didn't even glue, just crammed them in there hard) I tried to dread a couple with wax but I didn't really like it so I yanked em out!!! It made it look not as full and it was really messy. Thanks for everybody who helped and commented. Ohhh and GMAN, it didn't turn out looking black. Sorry! Dark walnut! Now off to the next island!

Good stain and hair color combo. Nice job bringing him home.

Nice clean carving T-Freak, and you did a nice job with the hair.
Has a real cool vintage feel to it.
Looking forward to more Virginia tik stuff.
