The exhibition (and not exhibit !) took place in a small town near Paris. It stands every year in juny. There are lots of painters and sculptors but I was the only one in woodworking. I have a friend who is a part of the association that made the exhibition who sculpts in clay ( http://yvesjouy.free.fr/ ). The tool is called a spokeshave (I learned that a few hours ago !) or wastringue in french and you can find the same here : http://gaignard-millon.com/categories.asp?categorie=Wastringues&souscategorie=M%E9talliques This tool is useful, it helps me to prepare the logs in order that the future tikis look more symmetrical ! I began this Tangaroa but cannot finish it now: I lost my carving Jack :( I need a new one... But I hope I'll see pix of yours very soon. Mahalo, Benjamin.
