I was just mucking around. :D ) Cheers Kon-Hemsby! Yep, my head is kind of living in two worlds. I love the traditional/old works but am also living 'in the now' & realise that technologies have changed. I know the early maori would have embraced the technology we have today & believe the artisans would have easily held their own in producing even finer work if they had them. TGIF! Been one of those weeks & Im pleased to have a weekend of NOT carving ahead of me. A chance to kick back & watch you weekend whittlers doing your thing... Chop Chop!! TTT :wink:
