Aloha to all!!!
I have a couple new pendants that I'm working on . Thanks for letting me share.
This pendant is out of rosewood very pretty wood but VERY hard but it's worth it. I've been trying to put a little different spin on all the tounges on each carving so they have their own personality and I'm trying to put a flair on the eyes to make it look more alive. anyhow this is the Rosewood LONO pendant

I wanted to really Stretch this Lono so he's a tall Lono. the wood is Ah-bee-z-ah Part of my hurricane discovery 3yrs ago. This stuff is left over from the wood that I made my steps in our house with after we rebuilt our home from the hurricans 4yrs back. I'm gonna bring a few small pieces of the raw wood to carve to Bens carving chop in may and give them away to the carvers in a drawing for those that show up. sorry about the rambling. I hope you like and Mahalo for letting me share, Aloha to all, Mooney
