Benzo - tomorrow is the rail run and cookout. I am really looking forward to it! The rail is already up near the pit, so I can't carve myself up trying to load it on the trailer tomorrow :D Today was yard-day and get-the-carving-in-if-you-can-day! I got a little carving time in this afternoon.

I am waiting to work on my 8" bone carving until a package arrives from the east coast, so I started cutting on another Hei-tiki. I haven't finished removing bone or started sanding, but here are some pics as he is after my session today. This guy hangs from his left arm and is cow bone cut in the shape of a "whale tooth" carving (or rei-puta as Tamapoutini described - I need to watch Whale Rider now!). The bottom third of the carving is an exaggerated longfin mako shark lateral tooth. I still have a ton to do on this carving, but I thought I would go ahead and post him since I haven't posted much work this week.

Thanks for looking,

Gman
