The Back I'm not sure what's happening there either. Thanks "Tama the terrified"! :) I am trying to let the lines of the face guide the lines of the moko and so far I like it. Last night about midnight I cut the lines on one side, Committing the design so I wouldn't change it again. It looks more awesome than just penciled in. I'll show you tonight. I figured the best wat to ship him is to just tape the label on his back and send him on his merry way. Nothing would happen to him, Right? Yes, he needed that base. Sweet dreams! Thanks Ben, but you'll have to wait like everyone else, tho I could post you a Pre sneek shot or 2?! I will be carving the Moko with the Ever-ready HOOK Knife, IS there another tool? V-Scorp or V-Liner? Only if you want a very ragged, jagged edge. The knife is the only way to get those long sweeping lines true and fair. Even the Power carver won't do it this small. When you get intoa 6 footer, then the power recip with a 45 degree v-liner will do the trick. This size has been very aqward, too small for most power chisels and too large for hand tools. All but the final detail like eyes, mouth, moko and stuff like that. What was the question again? That'l teach you! More updates later with pictures
