I was afraid you would notice the nostril and how I screwed it up. It is totally wrong for a Moai, and looks like a double nostril or something. Anyway thanks. TikiTikiBoom, thanks , I AM very proud of the rings. I was not sure I could do it at first, or how the wood would react to being so thin. It is about 1/16th of an inch in a lot of places and was very difficult to do. I started with 4 blanks for each size and only used one for the smaller band, but used all 4 for the larger band. It was challenging to say the least.
