JohnnyP, Benz, BK, Hewey, and Moondance,

Thanks for the kind words on my big Maori. Your support is greatly appreciated. Those eyes were tough. Because of the curve in the shell, I had to go in over a half an inch+ deep in some places to get the corners flush with his face. All in all, I am very happy with the result. Now I need to drill the inlays and mount them permanently with wooden pegs. I'll leave that for another day :)

Today I had planned on working on the smaller Maori and knocking a few tasks out, but I've changed plans. I got an email last night inviting me up to a private land lease where a sand rail club practices heir insanity. I hope to be allowed to join this group, so I'm heading up to meet them and see the land. Unfortunately I am not bringing my rail, but hopefully that will come in time. I'll post pics of these nutballs in the air if I get any good ones.

You all have a great day, carve like freaks, and keep on top of JohnnyP so he shows us what's going on with that fabulous Lono he's working on.
