The zircote really lends itself to the piece. I also like the way the patterning seems to fall over the features of the face, almost as if it is surface patterning. I was a little worried that adding the moko might detract from this, but once again you quietly prove why you are King.. Well Thanks Tamapoutini,not sounding like a meanie! This Ziricote Wood is really spectacular and BEEOUTUFULL and that wild grain seems to Scare peeps away from carving over it for some reason. the thought it that it would take away from the beauty of those Magnificent natural beauty lines mother nature had bestowed upon that tree.Well I'm here to say that if you add something beautiful to something already beautiful that you end up with something double Beautiful and this is living proof. This is the first moko done with the micromotor and not the hook blade. The wood is VERY Unkind to the steel in the hook knife which was useless against the hardiness of this wood. Now I DO Know that you have his brother down there with you and he would Dearly love to meet his younger sibling so get cracking and enter this swap and pay off the power that be so your two brothers may be reunited as one. I'm SURE they Both have Many nights full of tales to tell, Can't wait!! Thanks Robin, Glad you like it as it was a different approach for this one and I was worried that it would not be usable. The wood has a heave, pleasant, Sweet smell to it, I will send you some chips. Hewey, Thanks for the props and YES it feels GREAT!!! to be working on wood AGAIN. I'M so HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY to Smell the dust again, Yeah! Freddie, Thanks~ GMAN??Thanks for the props. Yeah I can see it now "Benzarts Moai Reunite, Show your Stuff, Check each other out and all that stuff. I don't think they're gonna like the part about being stuck in some stinky ole' Museum,adnauseum, Yuchhhck! Thanks for all the kind words to day folks, I didn't work today and instead did follow-up visits with doctors who say I'm getting better, tho I didn't hear from the mental mad man yet! :lol: :lol: Work tomorrow WHO wants to come to and have a Tiki Carve soon either at my house or somewhere else betweenport St Lucie and Tampa/St Pete. I think we can work something out.
