Thanks Tiki Duddy, very bright! I´ll do my best and continue with the finish this afternoon.
I will take some more pictures and post them here.

Hey surf-n-turf, thank you so much! :D Oh yes, that´s great!
Try out the same coloring technique and show us some pictures of you work. I´m very curious about it.

Last weekend I saw a very interesting reportage at arte TV about the creation of an Iatmul head in Papua-Neuguinea.
It was very interesting to observe, how the native did those great work. They also used many kinds of clay and mixed them with ash, water and different plant oils. It was very impressive and so I want to try out more suchtechniques.
Here is a little information about the reportage at arte TV:

Kunst und Mythos: from the 1th july to 19th august 2006,every saturdy at 20.15 p.m.

Every episode of the new series,presents a symbolic artefact of the original art.
It illustrates,which myth underlies the work, how it was used and handed down.
The show also discusses the different meanings here and at it´s point of origin.

GMAN, :blush: Thank you so much! All of you give me so nice compliments.
So I´ll go out of one's way to start an new poroject and show you new pictures.
Last Saturday I organized a new oak log from a farmer in the near of my home.
I think the log is approximately 250 years old and about 1700 pound heavy.
So, I will be busy the next time.

I have also seen your last Maori Tekoteko figure.
It´s awesome how lovely you created the shoulder, arm and hand. Great job!
And if I saw the picture of your pool, I also think like Paipo! - don't show me pics like that now! :)

Hey Paipo, thanks for posting! I was surprised myself how great the colors worked together with the wood.
Now it would be interesting, if the colors will work so good on every kinds of wood. Will it work with oak, cherry or beech wood ....?

congatiki, thank you also for your nice words. I like it also to watch many different pictures on TC,
and so I have lots of fun to give my own contribution.
And I think the progress pics are the best ones.

Now I will go out and finsh the Tiki! Thank you all and have a nice day, Kai
