Very cool. I like the Tiki. What do you finish them with?

When I was in the Scouts I made a couple of staves, but my carving was never very intereresting. I was more interested in shoeing them with copper pipe terminators than in carving (I also had crappy knives due to my habit of losing them). I even cut one in half and made it screw back together, so it could fit in my pack for transport.

My sister recently made one out of Osage Orange - have you ever used that wood? It is a brilliant yellow, and extremely hard and strong. She, instead of sanding, rubbed it down with a stone. It became as smooth as glass.
