Marcus, Thanks, this Lono has been around a Long time and I'm gonna finish him up NEXT. Now that the Moai is done for Finky. Thanks again.

Thanks GMAN, the Moai is Finished and a Beautiful piece of wood it is for sure. You're right about the zillion places that need to be worked on that Lono.

Lake, Thanks for your Kind words, I'm really happy with how this Lono is coming out.

TGap, thanks, yes this wood is Spectacular and VERY Hard too, but fun to carve.

LLTiki, thanks for your sweet words, The Lono is about 40 inches tall. I Love carving the large pieces and I Love carving the small pieces. They each present their own seperate challenges And Both feel great to complete. Now if I were a Master carver, then Everything I carved would have to be a masterpiece, but some of the pieces I do are Not masterpieces, so I guess that is proff that I am Not a Master carver, but hope to be someday! Thanks.

Thanks too Benjamin, Starting tomorrow, I will be posting more pictures of Mr Lono as I will be working on him Full time until he is done, Unless I start something new before he is done. (Not in the plans!) Thanks

John, Thanks for the kind words, and yes there will be Many More Pix starting tomorrow. Thanks for the props on the Moai too.

Conga, Yep he's a Big'un, Almost 4 feets. I Can't wait to get the finish on him to see how he will look. Thanks again, Yours is coming up soon!
OOPS, I hit submit when I didn't want to.

Hewey, Thanks, I Hope to inspire a few carvers 'round here, so thanks, Makes my day! Can't wait to see the log you are talking about. What tree is it, do you know? Lono sounds good for me.. Thanks again.

Bete, thanks, we had a Lot of fun, Loki and Stumpgrinder are Terriffic hosts and the weather was great, mid 70's all day,, Perfect. Happy Happy happy
Here are a few pic's of the Final of the Moai, except without the Cord. Finky needs to tell me how long to make it.
