I like how you use the inside and outside layers. Carve Deeper!

"Deeper" indeed!
Sanding abound comes my way!
And some color!
8 shades of stain and 3 acrylics.
Details will be done by the Wahini's hand.
Thanks for looking.
Mahalo!

That's sweet!
You beat me to it! I've had that on my list of things to do for a couple years now. 'Cept I'm going to do it in flat work.
Now I've got to get down to business and get one carved! Great minds think alike!
Again, great concept and execution!!!!

Thanks Dave! Greats minds.....pfffft. You should still do one! A log.
Amate, Thank you! I logged in over 30 hrs of cutting and another 6 or so of finishing...so far.
This one, therefore, is a keeper, but, I would certainly attempt copies upon request lol.
Mahalo!

What tools do you use to carve all that small detail?

Nix, I carve with burrs, shaping wheels and Lancelots.
I had fun with this lil McMark...
Of course a shot for Dr. Benz
with stain...
Wood was in a big box Hardware Store as a 2" Dowel. Thought I would try a different wood than Palm for a change. You can get so much detail into a deciduous or evergreen wood than can be had with Palm.
Thanks again for looking!
Mahalo!

Hard Wood - finally! Get yourself something sharp to use on that wood. Hook knife is the perfect choice!

More & More sanding awaits him, but, he's happy guarding the McTiki's lounge until after St. Patty's day.
Thanks for looking.

That moari is very cool. I'm tempted to say "carve deeper" just to be a smart ass. Oops, I just did! He would come apart if you went much deeper than that.
