Perry thanks for the props you are very thoughtful at times and it makes this old fart smile. Benella it IS Difficult to carve another piece better than the first but sometimes we can do it, Tamas piece is downright awesome and this one is just as awesome. I'm NOT trying to out do Tamas piece, but I want this one to stand on his own. This one was made to woo the wood carvers into joining us at Coon Tiki so we have 10 or 12 people and that would be nice. Actually this Coon Tiki might be the last as it is just about too much work and I am not able to do much of the things required of me to put this together even on my end, so spread the word, this is the last one I Think. Anyway it CAN be done, Benella, thanks for your kind words and continued support . NO,,, Every fan of my art is NOT CONGA Man and never will be but you Might be able toqualify long distance but doubtful,. Paipo, Here are a Bunch of pictures. I got what you asked as nearly as I could and you can see SOME Answers there but like you said, it IS a Pretty Stone. Here is the carving with 5 coats of lacquer buffed out:
