I am a little worried someone will snag him.. but he is pretty heavy.. probably a good 150 lbs. If I can find a way to anchor him I might do that. I was concerned about the different styles. I wanted to do something in relief after seeing Marcus' awesome hibiscus on the surfboard, but I didn't want to steal his idea, so I came up with the Maori. By the time I decided on the Maori I had already started the square lines on the head.. or I would've changed to spirals. I like the way it turned out, though. The MOP veneer arrived yesterday from NZ, so I'll add the eyes tonight and repost. thanks again! All the great feedback keeps me going and striving to improve!
