Chainsaw Carving a Moai - A Moment of Tiki 35

Описание: There comes a time in ever tiki home bar owner's life when the notion of carving tikis will come upon him or her. In this episode of A Moment of Tiki, I take an old pecan log and attempt to carve it into a Moai based on those from the island of Rapa Nui. I use a combination of chain saw, angle grinder and die grinder. Of these power tools, I used the chainsaw and angle grinder (with a Kutzall Extreme shaping disk) to rough out the shape, then finessed the details using my die grinder with some Saburrtooth burrs. Because I am dumb, I left the log exposed outside for several years, which meant insects and fungus had gotten to work on it, which caused some issues. The log was also pecan, which turned out to be one of the hardest woods native to North America. Probably not the best planning on my part, but hey, I make the mistakes so you don't have to!

I misspoke in the video--where I claim to be using "Golden Pecan" wood stain, I'm actually using "Golden Oak," in case such things matter to anyone.
