Aloha to all!!!!!!
Loki,thanks for the props. I am trying to come down to the jam but might be working at the fire house.
Benzart,Much thanks to you my friend.I've learned so much from you and i keep eating from the learning spoon!
Congatiki, as ben stated its yellow pine from the depot. I am really looking for KOA to work with to put much more polynesian love from my heart into my carvings. much thanks for the comps my friend!
Gman, thanks for the comps my friend and keep slaying the wood
JohnnyP, as ben stated what i use. I take the pieces home cut them on an angle,glue em and set em in a homemade form overnight. Then i dowell the top and the bottom with glue and leave em over night.3rd day i freehand draw what i want on one side of the mask then the other side. No patterns just a pencil ,eraser and a tape measure.

I have to let you all know i was given the idea by Benzart and inspired by his mask that i saw 1 and a half years ago at the hukilau. To all of you my friends keep having fun and let the wood chips fly, Aloha, your friend , Mooney
