Benella - Thanks man. Do some web searches for Maori carvings, and you'll see where I was coming from with these.

Benzo - Dunno if these are my best so far. The work I did in the eighties made these look pretty bad. Oh well. No porkfat here...beef lard! Oh, and I used decaf this time so I wouldn't get the twitches. PIGHAMMER always gets more porkfat! The bag is far from empty :)

Helz - Thanks man. I can't wait to see pics of your hei-tiki! C'mon, let us see!

Finky - Nice and clean? If you say so. Why do I always feel so dirty?

McTiki - Hammer-Time!

Benz - Yep, I'll mail him on Monday... :o

Kings - :)

Tama - I'm glad you like them and can see the small stuff that makes them unique. I'm glad you are not put off by my Maori inspired pieces. That makes me Happy Happy Happy! Ka pai!!!

JohnnyP - Thanks to you too. The sauce adds a lot of depth and brings out the detail.

JOnEs - BoneWerks var wungergrabben!!! Baskin dat farfignuggen? I've got plenny of wood and several big wood carvings going, but I'm onto the bone and stone for now....

tikigap - Yep, just tea. I cover up real good and wear a cartridge respirator, so I don't smell much. If you smell it bad, try slowing your toolz down so that you are not burning the bone, and use sharper stuff.....

Tama - Hogs can't sweat. That's why they need to live near water - so they can wallow and get mud on them to help cool them off during the day. Also, that is why they are active mostly at night, when it is cooler. They generally bed down during the hot days. :wink:

Benzo - Yes. You should carry dental floss and at least a web belt or two in case you need to tie off a bleeder. Damn Buggers!

I'm back after them again tomorrow...Snort, Grunt!!
