Hey all, I've been working on a pendant tonight. I'm only about an hour in, but he's coming along.

Buzzy - Thanks, I enjoy working on the buggers. I posted a pic of one further along below.

pdrake - I have a Delta saw. I don't recommend it. As for the designs, they come from inside of me. I view hundreds of Maori pendants each week, including online museum pieces. In time I just started drawing them and as i drew more, I like what I was making.

Here's one partially done. I still have a ton to do, but you can see some of what is done. He is carved on both sides, to allow for the 3D of his arms and legs being forward or back.

This is my first attempt at the new photo upload gig, so we'll see how it goes.
