Thanks everyone. PJC, not sure what kind of wood it is, found it laying in the bushes while out on a walk and grabbed it. Will, I'll check yours out too.

Thanks Cy.
Looks like I haven't updated in a while. Worked on a few things here and there, trying different things. A friend dropped off some short palm chunks and asked if I could make him some tikis. They are the biggest things I've tried working on so far. Roughed them out with a chainsaw which I hadn't used before and then back to using chisels. I think they turned out ok but not great.
Found this banksia pod and thought I'd try a moai out of it. May try some more with this stuff.
Made some beard and moustache trophies for a local competition and then tried another moai with a little Bosko style out of the leftover wood.
Not tiki, but tried a Celtic pattern pepper grinder as a gift.

Damn! Your swordfish bills are awesome!
Banksia nuts? Now that's think'n outside the box.
Have tossed many of those on campfires, and folks do make artsy stuff
out of them here, but your treatment of one(?) is outstanding. Love it!

Thanks komohana! Since you are in AUS, maybe I should hit you up for some more banksia.

Torch holder. This part of the palm log was a lot stringier than the other chunks I worked on. Kind of strange to work with but turned out alright.
