You've set the bar really high. Awsome. From my perspective, BK's work is pure inspiration. I once had the pleasure of seeing and feeling his first maori meeting house piece that was eventually purchased by Humuhumu. By feeling it, I mean in the sense of braille, as carvers tend to do when checking out a fine piece of carving. Unfortunately, the pictures of that piece in the "Tiki Carving Methodology" thread fell prey to the dreaded Shutterfly "Red X" plague. Suffice it to say, this new piece looks to be even more in tune with the ancient maori style. Honestly, I'm not sure how BK takes it there, but it's truly a unique thing. A-A
