Thanks Ben! I hope to visit, but my days are getting pretty booked, and it sounds like you're a bit of a drive, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :) I'll save one for you no matter what. :)

Tama: Thanks! I'm just starting to find some books on Maori moko's and carving, there's some amazing stuff out there! I'm saving some pictures of your work too!

Polynesiac: I'll be sure to save one for you!

Skinny Dog: Thanks! See you in June!

LLT: Great Guess - finished picture in this post. :) See you @ Hukilau!

surfintiki: Thanks! the wood burner is a blast.

AS: I got that book recently, but haven't read it yet, I'll see if I can get more information out of it. Lemme know what you think of the finished one.

seeksurf: Thanks! I might need to start putting a ruler in my pics, I'm not sure if it's possible to tell the size on these guys

MooneyTiki: I am pretty proud of myself - which is a pretty fun feeling to have. Hope to meet you at Hukilau and see some of your Lono's up close. :)

And here's the hook all done:

I'm having problems casting good copies of him, and I think he's awfully funny looking - but then again, so are the sources I used. :) Feedback appreciated!!!
