I certainly laughed when I read your post and pictured you sitting there smiling, it was great Thanks and Yes I'm using the new tools. I just got a 4 Lb block of the same jade, they called it "Wyoming this timee. it should be fun. Ben, Thanks for the kind dwords, I'm glad you like the Lono figure as he is about my Favorite Hawaiian Tiki and the one that I do the most. I guess the headdress is challenging and always leaves the opportunity to Play around a bit. Thanks. Paipo, Thanks. Sometimes it seems that the "Rip Into it" gets me into trouble sometimes because the "working it out" part proves to be very difficult. I Am finding though, that the 'Rubberized" abrasives really help in those tiny spots as long as I have the shaping done. I'll post some Woodies tomorrow. Here is a pic from today and this time with no oil.
