Thanks JP, Robin
Heath: You might have to move to Florida - Im afraid BenZart has already emailed privately and offered to breathe some depth into my box of 'flatties'. Not so sure Ill be letting them go just yet. Funnily enough, the degree of increased thickness is only very minimal/subtle*.
Sneaky: Transferring the smoke-free plumpness to the Tikis is a fantastic idea - if only I knew how it was done?? *Thankfully, my own increasing thickness is only very minimal/subtle also, but I have a horrible feeling that Im going to need to try some of that ex-er-cise stuff before too long, doh!

'New piece'



And from out of nowhere, flying very low 'Hei-toki Tangaroa'




I like this guy - as part of the ongoing march to loosen up my carving, this piece was tackled in more of a free fashion with less drawing/guidelines than usual. The result to me seems slightly cruder but more organic and 'authentic'. The process is certainly a lot faster and more ejoyable (and affordable - see marketplace :wink: )


Back to the grind! :D
