Thanks Ben .

two eyes huh , just above the bulging cheeks , below the long ears eh ,
A Bugs Bunny tiki , with teeth :D

The plank ? if you mean the one balanced on to of the 'moai' , that is sap Rimu (red pine). Thats the Mantle .
The turned piece is Tawhairaunui (red beech) , and the disposable end caps , for mounting on the lathe due to the split turning process , are Oak .

And the lathe , yep , NZ's finest , a Nova DVR XP :)
