Well guys, I had quite an internal debate about the overkill aspect of making that frame too conspicuous and stealing attention from the mosaic. This will be going into a collection along side of pieces by many of the well known carvers so I wanted the quality of the carve to justify the space. In the end, I decided to go for broke.

Moai is coming along

My next dilemma was to name this gal. When considering a name for a buxom red-head with big hair, I suppose the natural choice, considering the nature of this site, would be to call her Ginger (as in Ginger Grant). However, this lady is just not the evening gown type so I’m calling her Peggy.

So here they are: Al and Peg Baramundi. Al is made of Cypress and Peggy is Sycamore so I suppose this could be considered a mixed marriage.
