One of the first things I learned was to never carve bare foot. Don't get too sloppy - especially with the sharp chisels.

here's the shoe I was wearing...went right through it like it wasn't even there...
I swear, my buddy's damned tormek makes these chisels like razor blades.

no more chopped up feet for me...
I'm just glad I can still move my big toe. It went fairly deep...I was kinda worried about tendon / muscle damage for a minute there..

I had a ton of inquiries about this little tiki modern piece I did, so I've decided to make more of them.
