Kia ora,

Some pix for today: update with the shell moai:

The shell fellow will travel to the south of France with his new owner: my father :)

Tikidreams: Thanks for the kind words, Basswood at school ? You was very lucky !
Happy tiki is 12,5 cm or 4,9 inches tall. Very happy for your chunks, can't wait for the first cuts :wink:

Aloha Station: Thanks for the kind words and for the advice. Staining is my goal for the next ones. You was a real influence on this one.

Robin: As you wrote, it is lavendar on his head ! Happy you like him, thanks.

Paipo: thanks, basswood is very pleasant to carve and the grain looks good with the oil. New basswood pieces soon :wink:

Here are the very first pix of a new piece a bit bigger, influenced by a stoner and a tree carver :lol:

Side:

Front:

11,8 inches (30 cm) upwards.

Mahalo,

Ben
