Thanks Finky, glad you like the dark burnt eyes.

TheBigT, Thanks for your props too. On These small guys it is really challenging to try and fit a lot of detail in such a small space. When working so small, one little slip removes a chip that is a whole Nose or ear or tooth, and it's like living on the edge,,beauty one minute, trash the next.

Thanks T-Gap, I Know I must be reminded to carve Carefully and use tools responsibly. As this happened when I wasn't carving it's a reminder that you Must use Caution Around sharp tools Period! That sharp carving knife will get you Anytime it gets the chance! :o :lol:

G-RuHa Thanks, when my pieces nturn out good it usually means the Ancients were playing with my tools again, I take No responsibility! :D

Thanks Youheadhunter, appreciate the comps. The KOA Wood is hard to beat with it's color variations and grain. This one has lots of fire. Thanks, the hand is Almost back to normal. :)

Thanks Big Daddy, One handed IS a bit difficult but it has it's advantages and when I think of them I'll let you know. You should do an few small pieces, it makes going back to the big ones so much fun. After carving small when you get a big piece, you Wonder how you will ever fill up All that space!
Benella, Thanks, I appreciate your props. You're Always here for me.
:P
:D

Well I have a few more shots ofn the Lono and the Toggle. It is done from a hollow gator's tooth which allows the Knot in the cord to be hidden and out of the way. Of Course there was this Tooth Crying and Begging to be carved so of course I Had to oblige?
Thanks again for all the Wonderful Support from all you Peeps!
