Thanks for playing everyone - certainly made my day more enjoyable keeping you guessing :lol:

Too excited to wait until morning.. Drive-by roughout of 'Lei Niho Palaoa':

(a bit more 'waste' than Im used to, but theres the toggle at least..)

Figured Id crack open a fresh burr for this heavy internal work:

Getting there but still a lot of refining to do. This form is far trickier than it looks (but I was expecting that), with many subtle angles and proportions.
Ive been wanting to make one of these for the longest time but just happened to pick up a piece of stone with the right thickness/proportions this morning after flicking through a book and spying one.

Ive got a few other things to attend to tommorrow but will hopefully get another hour or two on this. :)

(didnt get the Toki/teko sanded last night after all..)

Happy carving All!
