Thanks IsleConch, its those SoCali's, they get everything. If you want to see a CHESS Set, look up the one done by Crazy Al, then know why I don't need to do one.

Kingsey, Thanks. The bookends look to be from NZ and look fairly old, don't know anything about them. Benzart carving Bone? Don't think it is gonna happen! Wood is enough and adding Stone is a stretch. Thanks on the lono, I knock a few chips off him every week so he won't feel forgotten.

I don't know Pdrake, they won't be given/selected/assigned/claimed or anything until everyone sees them all then I'm not sure How we proceed from there. Thanks.

Tama, I don't think I can show you Anything about carving Jade except for Not how to do a few things.(see ya in the Stoners Q&A forum) Yet from the looks of your Giant Hei-Tiki, I think you WILL be showing me a few things. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks Hewey, Yeah, free is a great price for those.I tried to pay the doner the $1.00 he bought them for but he would not take it! Yeah, that last pic is too brown to be jade and Way much too big. I think 4 ft. I guess he must be mahogany jade.

Bete thanks on the Green piece and the Lono too. Yes he thinks he is going to be a masterpiece too and is taking his time.
Here are a few pix of the green Lono after working a bit today.






Tama, you can see all the corners I've backed myself into, HELP? I poked a hole thru his headdress so he can be worn as a pendant.
