I picked up some dry cedar and (further) down below are a couple of results from the last week, I also have a large Ku up on the rack waiting to get sanded and finished, then I hope to do a few other new pieces. But first last month saw this monster (1 meter across 3 meters tall) get carved for a job in Japan, I had to make a front and back which were channeled, each piece weighed 1400 lbs, the mouth got hollowed out in Japan and they are planning to put a fire “feature” inside. Because of the size and weight I had to work on the thing while it was laying on the ground and then had to have the back head dress match up to the front. This weeks Maori and New Guinea inspired pieces, hope to have more to show you in the next few weeks. My very best Alohas Bosko
