Well Mr. #5 got a shave and a haircut yesterday
So from this
to this
Not bad but not what I was going for, I'll use a dark stain on the part where the bark was to restore a bit of the look I was after.
Also started a big moai yesterday
just roughed in so far.

I think even without the bark he still looks great, dude. Seriously. Your stuff kicks some serious butt. Keep it up!

Thank you very much. Still real new to this but loving it for sure.
I agree he still looks good but I just loved that big tapered look you know, was a perfect little short patio table, now he's more like an end table, haha.
Alright enough internet, time to get carving.

This guys coming along good now. Chopped off his ears and thinned his head down a bit and now I'm halfway through carving out his new ears. More pics tomorrow.
