Yes, so we picked out a nice piece of sycamore. Actually it was a hallow log, put together like this. Remember earlier on, it looked something like that. What we did was we sliced it off and put some lines on it. Here we still need a few more lines. We could use a mouth down here and over there, a mouth. So thats stage two. We've split the log to decide what kind of a shape, and we could only make a mask out of this, or possibly make a female form. Now this is some sycamore, it was a hallow log. We could have done a couple of things with the log. Not just make faces, we could have made an incense burner by hallowing it out. But it's going to make a perfect mask, all it takes is a chainsaw. So that's what our decision is for today.
