Queen K, thanks. I'm probably going to do a few more (but different) versions of the Medicine Tiki, it's fun to describe their purpose.

Benzart, Wow, you are too kind with such kind words. Thank you! The Sensei says tighter cords, so it shall be.

Bowana, thanks for the compliments on the seahorse and the PJ's. I got lucky on both.

I get asked a lot on how long it takes me to carve a bone pendant. I'm always wishy-washy with an answer because I don't really track my time. I work until my Dremel gets too hot to handle, then I drape it over a box fan and take a break. When I come back it's cool and can carve for another 45-60 minutes. Some of you that know me well know that I' a bit ambidextrous, so here's one secret I'll share...

Just having fun with the camera. I couldn't do that, I'd have to hold the part with me feet and... oh, hmm.

Next piece in the works. I don't think I've seen a Manaia figure done in a round shape yet.
