Hi TC'ers fellow!

Long time I'm don't post here... Thank's all for stopping by and write comments and kind words.
Sunny days are back and workshop is full of uncomplete work...

-Thank you Amate, the Sépik will be the first of a serie I think. Lot of fun to carve it! :wink:

-Also thank you John CC! The adze is still a bit dangerous ... Like all cutting tools! Always pay attention to the work axis and weight gesture to control the cutting. Thank's again!

-Thank you Sensei carver! The framed trio is inlayed only with beachcombing find: An urchin shell for the Tangaroa, a tiny mussel for the Lono and french abalone ( give by Benella! ) for the maori.

-Thank you too Clarita! Now I'm going to carve more tiki again, the event went very well and there remains no much to back home.

Some pics of recent tiki work:

roughing for the next weeks and a new adze:

The Adze finished:

A carved frame for Jimmy Virani...

...for his Robb Hamel black velvet painting
Almost finished!

Two non-tiki pieces, commissionned work:

A carved owl perched in a double lamp:

And some flowers carved in oak...

...finishing with mother of pearls find on the beach near the towers of Belem(Lisbon) last summer.

Just for fun, a ring made from a steel nut:

And Lono, best look with his new patina I think, soaking up the sun in the garden:

Thank's for looking!
Have a nice day!

Jérôme.
