Thanks everyone - As I was saying to Benz, Im gonna take my time with the Lono & make it my own, Maori Lono... As for the others, Im bound to finish something sooner or later. Ill keep you posted...

JP: sadly a lot of stone is wasted in any carving (approx 40-50%) just in removal of 'non-tiki' stuff, but its a matter of trimming/cutting as close as possible to avoid having to grind it all away... So as for this coming creature, it will be a bit of both. Some trimmed away & the form 'found' by grinding. Not as tragic as it sounds...

Kings: Glad you are wearing him/them (the wee phatty is/was a favourite of mine too!) Is that another you are wearing in the piccy between the two large Hawaiians?

Had the house to myself today (narrowly escaped having to attend a 3rd B'day party, phew..!) so I managed to get a little more done on Heckle & Jeckle...

And a bit more...

And a bit of browsing besides. Good day!

Happy carving all! T3
