Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Woke up to this, this morning.

So part two of the carving.



It was -2'C or 28'F outside, despite this lovely sunrise as seen from my cozy bed.



So I started with my awl, and also half of a pair of secateurs that lives in the garage.
Makes a great cutting tool.



Slow but sure progress.



Of course I had completely cleaned the house on Tuesday morning.

Today I noticed that it would be a repeat job.

Thankfully I live alone and pay the mortgage.



Eventually by just after 13.00 the Tiki head was completed.

Funny how these things shape themselves..... no matter how hard you try.



Decided to try it on a plinth.

And really liked it.



So designed a Tiki Surfboard plinth whith pineapple, and some palm fronds down the sides.






Completed.



Happy.

Next up some SHAG style Skulls I think.

Look them up.
