Good Lord...I just looked on page 12 at that Lono. Now THAT's raising the bar, man, no words needed. Detail, detail, detail.. Clean, precise chisel work. Dripping in Tiki mana..I got respect, dude (right fist over heart, left hand chakka brah). That's the kind of guy you want in your platoon .. As for cracks, when people are picky about them any more, I just say "Welcome to the world of wood". I used to obsess over them for hours, shooting superglue into every tiny check that appeared. But I started to like them. And now, a tiki without at least one good crack just isn't a tiki. Look at Paul's Place Of Refuge photos. Shoot a little spray of Matte Black in them and it'll make a piece that good look like it cracked in Don The Beachcomber's 60 years ago...mana!
