Tama the Terrible, I guess you are right about stopping to take pictures along the way, it is very disruptive. I usually only take pix at the end of the day. This lady is really coming along sweetly. I just can't believe how eazy you make it look. We're talking about a Hard Rock here man, Not some Soft piece of wood that just gives up as soon as it sees a sharp piece of steel. That stuff fights back.
I would like to know more about the traditional aspects and meanings of giving and handing down the hei-Tiki. It is SO much more than just "Carving a piece of stone"!
