I started with the rough out posted above and wound up here. It's sanded and buffed, but I still see some spots I want to tough up. I did a fair amount of carving around onto his back. Now it's ready for a little aging and his paua eye inlays. I know folks are posting very elaborate things these days, but this pendant is for my collection and I wanted a very smooth, very simple, very tight piece. I hope I have achieved that look. Here are a few pics. Enjoy. -Gman
