Here is a piece recently finished ...it's a neat one, 3 inches. It's a Ngorieru, a type of sea spirit of the Solomons. I always enjoy carving Solomons pieces; it's a very undersung indigenous art area. The clubs are interesting, too...they often get called "wooden swords" but are actually carved in the likeness of a spirit fish.
