I think I can see that the detail does not need to be carved with the 100 grit stones all the time, True? How small(or large) can you go with the detail before pieces begin to break off? As in the headdress notches in this Lono. And, Paipo, HOW DO you get your deep, Machined looking lines? Mine are nowhere near to your perfection. Also, have you dropped a piece had had it shatter into a thousand tiny pieces? I dropped lono yesterday and just Knew he was history, but he was fine, Luckily! I'm sure I will have more questions when I can remember them and More as I get into it deeper. HappyhappyHappy.
