easter island moai head



First pic, an old railway sleeper apparently made from jarrah wood. I thought I'd give it a go.

Latest pic. I was wondering about the mouth as some of them don't seem to have one & they are weird things anyway. Thoughts?

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Re: easter island moai head

Nice one, its looking great


Personally i would try and put a mouth on it, but when ive tried putting a mouth on something i usually wish i hadn’t.
Sorry that doesn’t help much.

Cool.
Nice timber- we have been getting bits of that from the old Falmouth Dock piers. Heavy ain't it?
