Hello to all,

I have been visiting TC for inspiration for some time now. This thread looks like a good place to jump in for the first time.

I became interested in carving oceanic art after reading "Kon-Tiki: Across the Pacific by Raft" while on a beach vacation a few years ago. I first read this book when I was in the seventh grade. So, after returning from vacation, I wanted to get some Moai figurines but was unable to find any. I had done some carving before so I decided to make my own and have not stopped carving since. There is some real talent on this site but I will, somewhat reluctantly, show a couple of my modest pieces anyway.
