Hey thanks all for stopping by and for your comments, and best of all from such great artists/carvers.

Nice to hear from you JP. I have looked at and admired your work as well...more than admired. Enjoyed your post on the old guys thread too.

GMan...I would love to let you scrutinize this piece in person. I'm thinking that if I make all the cords in the specific lengths, you and Tama and Miss VampiressRn, ( thanks for stopping by VRN), could have joint custody. Thanks you guys....warmed my little heart. :)

Benella! thanks for the Bravo!...loving Florida and carving.

Tama, Thanks so much...I like that info on the eyes of the HeiTiki gives it a nice mojo. I understand what you're saying about thinking that I don't have to go back. It's not really a ripple. I'm thinking the stone is a tiny bit softer in that area, and my proficiency with the pressure of the handpiece isn't quite up to smoothing it. It's like getting caught in between the grain of wood...it's such tiny work. Will try with slow dry on the higher areas so I can see better. I will definitely drive your point about which tools for what into my head.

Thanks for your post of your ceramic work and insights on the 'old guys' thread too! You would have made a great ceramicist!
