Nice carvings!! I really like the second one you did modeled after the book ends, nice...
I'm going to put a wanted add on craigslist to find dome logs, preferably coconut but I'm not going to be picky, also the green dump is a great place to look, although I have not had any luck the last time I went..

My favorite one is the open-mouthed one at the beginning of your thread. I can imagine seeing that in the middle of some island jungle, watching over a forgotten temple.

Why the name Chetiki I'm curious (something to do with el Che, or are you porteño)?
Aloha!
