A mixture of all sorts really some are left over beams from a kids adventure playground a bit like telegraph poles, good for outside as they are treated and don't rot, lime, and the middle ones laburnum if I remember correctly which is really nice as it has a dark core. Would like to get Palm but can't seem to find it over here.

thanks cheeky! well, my friend found a stash of old palm trunk sections that the city must have cut up and dumped years ago...some were rotted out but I managed to salvage a few good pieces.....I thought that it was like trying to carve a shredded wheat but that fern looks like the "difficult to carve" award winner!

Hey! These are great! Please show more of your work as you finish them!
BTW - is the place where you took the picture also the place where you carve?

Yeah its in my courtyard,the weathers not bad at the moment so I work outside. I live in a warehouse and built a mezzanine level with a spray room underneath which I can use in the winter, but its nicer outside.
thanks again for the comments

cheers,
It's my logo, I kinda mixed up the old victorian statue of a boy peeing(being English)with Tangaroa and got Cheekytiki.
I'm gonna carve one soon to have as a water feature at home.

Cheeky- these are wonderful. Your style is eclectic and the detail is great. If you ever can get your hands on palm you must have a go at it. It's very soft and easy to carve. Great work!
