Triple Terror from Tama The Terrible, How ever you sign it, she is one Beautiful lady and would be a Fine addition to ANyones collection(like Mine!). She is a Special lady having been born and raised here on Tiki Central. What a Cool tour into the life of Tamapoutini, better known here as tama the Terrible! I Love the concept of having so many pieces going on at the same time in various stages of finish. Back when I was carving full time, I usually had the same thing going on. There were always different pieces in the works and since I did my carving in an Open Tiki Hut, many coustomers could watch their piece being carved and it was really great.
When you get down to the "Hand sanding", are there not any abrasives that would work mounted on the end of a bur for something like a dremel? I have used rubber tips impregnated with different grits of abrasives. I usually try to avoid hand sanding whenever possible but there are times when it is not feasible I guess. Thanks SO Much for showing us this step-by-step crash course in carving Pounamu. I'm sure I was not the only one waiting on the edge of my chair for the next installment. Well done!
