Cheers Benz. That Manaia has been kicking around for a while now & Ive just been waiting for the right moment to start carving him proper. Happy so far... Havent done many of them at all (though just thought of a pretty special one Ive got tucked away. Been meaning to show you for a while...)

Dont know that it been all that eureka today, but plenty busy...

Pulled a late night & finished the carving of "The New Arrival"/Tri-Koru 1002

Sanded it up this morning & added cords

*You might have noticed I never showed the other side of this one; I was keeping a wee surprise till now. Not a big one, just a wee one. Check out the 'golden child'... spooky

Money $hot...

And spent the rest of the day drawing up this handsome crew. They look a bit like the Jackass boys! :lol:

'WeeMan'

'Johnny K'xville'

Um, 'Skeletor'

And, er, 'No Name'...
Actually this one is for our daughter Kenna who is just about to turn 5 & head off to school. This is the long awaited, 'yes, one day I will make you a tiki of your very own; when you're old enough' piece!
*I think Ive mentioned earlier that bone & pounamu pendants are now an acceptable part of all school dresscodes. Kids cannot be made to take them off as they are seen in the same light as a crucifix or other religious symbol. How times change eh? The wee heathen Devils have rights now -and the tikis too! So, there you go sweety, now off to skool...

One step forward, four steps back...
