That would be useful to check your butt for a rash  Will is that some spalting in the wood or a knot?

Looks like the body is looking for his head and the head is just laughing at him saying you are never going to find me cause you can't see me. Nice carve Will.

Hope you guys aren't tired of shell eyes already.
Cuz I bought a whole bag of them.
Next up
My bud gave me 4 table legs turned at the bottom
and one extra blank.
He likes moais.
When I feel good about the practice blank
I'll make foai moai just like it.

surfintiki Ya I thought the same thing
if the grinder does'nt work out the bobble head would.
Mike, spalting, not. That sounds too romantic.
Bad spot in more like it. But it's OK.
Keylo, This wood is mahogany. Real different from
mango. Chippy, but grinds & sands nice.
I finished it with rub on poly.
So after 2 practice swings I'm ready to get these
legs going.

Definitely some gnarly Lonos there! Nice unique style! Good work on the legs ... it's tough for me to get symmetry on the same tiki! To duplicate the same look on multiple sticks is impressive!
