Alright! here's the new guy all finished up!
cut up an old broom for the headdress and just drilled little holes to glue them into.
And that's it for now! more soon!

Great broomhead tiki carving!
Great expression on him....Solid...unmoving...determined....
the face and the stance work well together to achieve that!
and nice hairband idea with the bead
it's the little details that give pieces more life!
new one's looking good!
Far North REPRESENT!

Tiki Duddy, Nice imagination on the broom head. Like your shrimp tail head guy. Great work on a small piece. Are you going to try to bring out some contrast in his features with a torch or are you going stain? Either way he's going to look goooood! Happy Carving!
