GreenCarvings - welcome! I just read back through your posts - maybe I met you last time I was in Hoki ? I try to stop by and see Steve whenever I'm down there, but he's always flat-out with his students so we never get much time to chat (and I usually have the whanau in tow). I'll post some pics of the holes I mentioned, but I suspect you'll have seen them already - "hidden" holes, bullnose, netsuke himotoshi? Kiwshaman - cheers! Stay tuned for finished pics tomorrow or thereabouts. Did a little more on the koropepe today, but I'll wait til he's all done before posting more pics. I'm fully back in tiki mode now, and got another two pieces underway:
