OK, so I got a little skippy with the saw this weekend and got quite a bit done.
Sorry for the cell phone pics, I'll get some better shots when the sun is out & I know where the hell my camera is.

Had a request for one of my older styles and knocked out this guy.
The pineapple is a little cliche, but hey that's what they wanted.
He's about 4.5' tall:

The next one was a little study in the Moai form.
Actually only about 16" although the pic makes him look larger.

And since I was on a roll, I really missed that Akua Kai I sold so did another little play on the same style:

This one is a little less detail, but only about 30" compared to the 48" frame of the original.
The wood had some damage from beetles (those are the dark spots you see)
but I think it adds to the overall character of the piece and gives it a sort of aged look.

More soon; I just stripped a 6 footer that is HEAVY! About 16" in diameter.
Probably gonna be one more study in this headdress toting Lono/Akua/Kane style I've been diggin on so much lately. Local bar on the beach said they wanted something big, maybe this will fit the bill!

Mahalo
