Aloha and thanks for the replies,

here are some updates from the tropical shores of the Paulaner brewery :wink:

The marquesan is stained in walnut now:

Then while it was drying I took a leftover piece of cherry and made a pendant for my sister's birthday. It's stained with magahoni color:

While the cherry was drying I made this quick moai pendant, I have to stain it once more and then put laquer on it, because it is so soft.

And here's the frame I carved a while ago. Now I have a clamp and it was much easier to glue:

And here's a building I can see from my window. I don't have to go to Trader Vic's to see Tiki in Munich :wink:

I hope you enjoy the photos !

Benzart, thanks for the kind words, you are right, I should take more progress shots. Here's what I just started:

Seeksurf, thanks for the nice comments.

Benella, the lamp moai is not too big, it's 20-25cm. I borrowed a very long drill from my dad, which went almost through. I drilled from both sides, so the hole is not perferctly centered. I also carved a small "tunnel" on the bottom from the back where the cable comes out.

Time to go to bed now, I'll try to post some updates next weekend.

Cheers,

Bobo
