FYI - the two tone was created by useing RED MAHOGANY stain on the headdress and CHERRY stain on the face. Glad you liked it. I don't get on here as often as I wish but it's been busy lately. November doesn't look much better. I'm trying to finish up another mask. I appreciate your interest.

Tikigodz/Benjamin - Thanks for the comments.
Ben- I'm starting to get the carving figured out but I still ruin a few with the stain. I just visited your website- I believe you have much to teach on finishing.

Wow! the talent on this site is amazing. None the less, I will share another view of my island. This one's been on the shelf for about a year now. . . more or less. I've got to get in gear and start something new.

Benzart - your kind words always give me a lift. Thanks
Clarita - I have to admit I like the photograghy almost as much as the carving. But in truth, it's a diversionary tatic designed to distract the viewer from flaws in the carving. ha!
Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah Big tiki S. I do have a lot of stuff around here. I just get a bit intimidated by all of the great artist posting on this site. Have you seen Tahitiki's thread? Makes one humble.

Amate, thanks for the big compliment. You know, the cool thing about this site and all the amazing carvers, painters, mug makers and Tiki bar builders is that I still feel the way you feel when I check some of the threads out there. I never stopped being amazed by the quality of work on TC. It's so neat to see that some of the newbies that started carving when I did are now Master carvers. Pretty cool stuff.
