Creative Chimp, thanks. Where abouts in West FL are you?

Tobunga, thank you. My brain (and the rest of me) wants to go to Oasis, but my bank account sez No. It's gonna be a big event for sure this year.

Laojia, thanks for the kinds words.

Grapa-RuHa, thank you for that compliment. I try really hard to push myself in different directions.

Ok, time for another weekend update. I started both of these after work this week. It's really hard to get motivated to do anything after I've been zombified for 10hrs staring at a monitor at work all day. Then I'll get in a groove and the next thing you know it's 11pm, and I'm hungry, and got to unwind and try to get 6hrs of sleep... then do it all over again. Yea me!

Hammerhead hei matau, with paua shell inlays.

I almost tried to put teeth in his mouth, but knew I couldn't pull it off with the tools I have.

Kind of disappointed with the inlay close to his head. It matches the other in color, but only at one angle. Almost every other direction is looks more pink.

This is just a simple hook, but tried something different with the lashing up top.

What's cool about this one is the shape of the bone. The barb really sticks out there.

I think this one is the perfect size, not too big, not too small.

Play safe.
