Hey all, I hope everyone had a blast at Bamboo Ben's sale today. I never got a chance to attend one.

TikiG, thanks as always for your comments. I keep waiting for you to try the stuff...

Loajia, I hope who ever he reminds you of does not have inlay in his head! Thanks.

Seeksurf, thank you. This was the second hammerhead I did, and the form came to me much easier this time around.

Just a single update this time around. I squandered massive amounts of time away on a new beach cruiser this weekend. Its amazing how the world can fade away when you have a backpack full of cold refreshments on the beach. I did see a few turtles in the water as I was wading in, probably influenced this next hook. I could have wasted that time doing other things, like watching ninja movies or something less constructive.

I managed to finish this piece, trying for something a bit different. I was playing with curves and angles on this one.


This hei matau has a couple of Hawaiian styled honu on it.


The point is pretty sharp, but I think I have it tucked away so it won't draw a blood sacrifice from the wearer.

Have a good one!


Pupule Tiki!
