Kia ora All!

Cher:

BenZ: The Gemini in me is torn between the two approaches (pre-designing & free-carving), each has its pros and cons..

TFreak: :)

B'Nella: Im looking forward to seeing what you do with that stone..

JP: (I got the butt/tongue joke)

JenZ: besides being rude, it would have been on the back of his head! And I dont want to have to carve the matching Beavis-Tiki! :lol:

pdrake: you have to say you like it! :wink: :lol:

Surfin: youre welcome to come by and lick them anytime. Just remember most have been rubbed on my nose several times to deliberately impart body oil..

Tipua: cheers, no prog as yet but Ill be talking to you..

Kshaman: your drool is always welcome too, cheers!

Mooney: :)

Seeks: :)

G$: again, I fight with the dark and light sides of the force. Pre-designing leads to much tighter work, but free-carving is so much quicker and more satisfying to the carver in me. Keep mixing it up..

BenZ: 'BUMPLARIAN'?? Thanks! :lol:

Its been all go this end. Not a huge amount of carving but I seem to have been very busy & dog-tired at the end of each day. Some of this could be attributed to spending many hours falling off my new skateboard which I received for Fathers Day! (I never learned the first time round but seem to have improved with the intervening years off) Now my son and I are working on matching bruises to go with the matching boards..

One new piece has come off the bench recently - a little brother to a piece I wear. Just a quick 1,2,3 progression Im afraid:

'Toaiti II':

And on the bench for the past couple of days, a new Tang! Micron by micron, still slowly getting thicker with these guys:

Virtually a full day in the workshop promised tommorrow. Fingers crossed..

HHHappy carving All!
