WOw More Nice stuff you have there, You just go with what you have and make it work and end up with Excellent works.
I think for the neat, clean and sharp V lines you need an "Inverted cone" fairly small and that will give you your sharp edges. And I Think (don't know for sure as Andy does his by hand) they use a drill bit to cut out for the eyes on the hei-tiki like this one. Of course you need the correct size, but it will cut out band with the center not drilled.

More good luck to 'ya.
