Pretty cool tiki. The biggest challenge in art is knowing when to stop. You might want to quit right there for a while and decide if you've let enough of that Tiki out of your stump.

I was thinking the same thing today. I brought out the handtools. I did a little more with the woodcarver and then deepened and added relief in some spots and smoothed and blended others. Just about done except for sanding. The wood down low is a bit of a pain, still wet and stringy.

Finished today with my helper.


I may burnish the high spots with a polishing pad. I'd like to lighten them slightly before I do a coat of oil to seal it.

OK....this is finish finished.... ::) Thought it was a bit too dark, sanded, stained with a light cherry stain, spar varnish wiped on.

He definitely looks Samoan. Cool Tiki. Almost looks like it grew there.
