Well mine's underway. I've browsed through the books I have and searched the net, but with the exception of the ever endearing Moai, I can't get on with some of the cadaverous figures I see, but that's me.
As you can see I've started 2 identical projects, not knowing how either will turn out. I have chosen the Birdman figure a little stylised taken from a net float found in the Solomon Isles but found throughout Rapa Nui albeit in a wierder form.
I got my last piece of Mammoth Ivory which has a flaw that might have to be pinned yet and a real nice piece of Jade from Paipo, there's a tiny flaw that I hope won't bother me (yes I've already cut and drilled the piece otherwise the pic wouldn't have been included:-) )

The wax marks are guides for the sawing that I can see, I get real twitchy whan I can't see anything through water, I guess it's just a stoner thing working blind!!
Thanks for looking, more pics soon
Regards
Flynny
