hey Paipo- yea, the time really is sucked up on that. funny you say about removing stone-sized chunks of wood.-my relief when trying stone was the quicker over-all carving time! hey i've got a question for you. do you know what type of rock this is? it's from Rapanui- a customer who visited there 6yrs ago gave it to me yesterday. it looks like lava- or at least what i would picture it to look and feel like. kind of glassy. pretty dense. i'm wondering if i can carve it or if i should just leave it. i can always bite into a corner and see what happens.





if you have any advise, that would be great. i don't want to ruin it if it's only going to shatter. mahalo!!
well here's some more progress on #3. still not shure about the back and top. oh well, i'll figure out what i want. enjoy!!





Mahalo for looking!
