Well, it was a good afternoon, a cold sunny day of november, alone in my workshop...

TikiG, thank's for comment! I also like seeing pictures of work in progress, we learn much...

Andy, big, very big thank you for the compliment!!! Now I am indebted...
And... sorry, but what's the meaning of Ka pai ?

Surfin', thannnxxxx! :D

BenZ, thank you too! "That Manaia would be great over on this side of the Pond!" I took notes... :roll:

Bennno! So back on your chair, I just finished polishing!!! Thank you bro'! I await yours... :wink:

Mango, thank you! And thank's for inspiration, you are also somewhat responsible for this.

Customkiis, thank's for stopping here! Await to see some pieces from you...

Back to the workshop:

Few week ago, my father gave me a hunk of a curious wood, heavy, red and yellow coloured . He don't know what is it, just that come on a packaging to throw away...
I tried a few cuts, it appears suitable for carving.

A matau already finished

More to come...

The second Hawaïan tiki almost finished (without sanding!)

Oopps! I almost forgot ...
Polished Manaia, arm side...

And finally Pekapeka:

Thank's for looking

Have a nice weekend!
