There is a lot of great stuff being posted recently. Keep up the good work.

Benzart, BK and Conga- Thanks I appreciate the complement coming from you guys. Conga, I'd love to take a cruise deep into the heart of New Guinea, it would be hard to get me to leave, and I'd need a big boat to hold all the carvings I'd need to buy. I have to settle on any book I can get my hands on.

Gman and Tama- No the croc canoe prow was not firewood, just too many other things to work on, I only get a couple hours a week to carve so this one waited awhile. Tama, I separated the two piggie hammers so they didn't have too much fun.

Thank you Benella.

Hammer Time continues.

Here is the full size prototype of the Vanuatu Slit Gong. I am glad I did a prototype, as I learned a lot from this one.

Can you see it under the dusting of snow and sawdust. I think I am the first one to post snow pics this season. :) (I wasn't Congatiki was)

And inside to dry a bit.

Thanks for looking.
