I love the newer Kokopelli and want one. are you still doing these? How do I contact you? I've researched the web for all your listings and Etsy doesn't have any info there to contact you.
@eagle8458 Sorry, but i do not carve toilet seats anymore. There are no solid wood toilet lids around that I can purchase to do the carving. Our apologies.
@THEGEA1 ya... that sucks.. cause of germs and all... plastic and ceramic doesn't absorb them like wood does...but what if they sold seats with a thick lacquer?
sorrybout that. the web site is down for the moment. we are working on a new one and it should be up by the beginning of january. you can still find us on ebay under great lakes toilet seat
the wood filler is a golden oak color. it stains up rather nicely with the colonial maple stain color so it is very dificult to see the filled cracks after it dries. I fill in the areas where the router or dremel cut thru the glue seam. sometimes this can chip out some wood that is rather noticable if left alone. the woodfiller corrects this. I also hear bondo works on large pieces if you intend on painting it. ( bondo does not blend in with the wood color very well)
V-tools work well to outline the shape your going for...I mostly carve with power tools so I just plow right in with a square (90 degree) bit in my flex shaft /dremel tool. I have several dremel tools set up with several differant sized bits when Im working. So I dont have to change bits as often. The router helps make short work by setting the background..but you dont have to rely on it exclusively.
nice work

Excellent work, I'm not much of a carver since I just started but I'm loving the idea of the toilet seat wood project. Take care

I love it. What is the wood filler used for? Could you explain that part?
