A bit commercial?? You Pommys must be a harder breed than I thought! :lol: Should come with a warning not to be worn during, er in bed, if you know what I mean. Well, it depends on how you 'sleep' I suppose... :lol:
Dont get me wrong; I think its a very nice piece but maybe best marketed for display? Top binding fella! (not even T3-PO could have taught you that one; my binding knowledge base is deceptively limited...)

The Sea Cow Moai-Matau is another that looks like it should be in a Museum case. Any chance of flicking a pic of the original - Im assuming the original tiki face wasnt a (10mm!!! - 1st equal dammit. ah but the record was for stone; Im sorry thats a disqualification :lol: ) Moai but probably a figure to represent/invoke Tangaroa. The Moai is a novel touch though; nice one.

There is also a definate Flynny-style starting to come through & as with true originalty its quite hard to define.

Devonshire Cocktail & scone anyone?

Tama :)
