From 6/12/17 Update. Step 2 in the series involved an installation last weekend for a party. It included board design #'s (L-r) 1, 6, 3, & 5. Dimensions are 1'x3'x1"
This pic shows the pieces assembled and ready to hang. I may sell these after cleaning them up a bit so pm me if you're interested.

I'm updating a previous post with my latest hei matau creations to get feedback from other tiki artists. Let me know what's up. Im' almost up to the suggested amount for items to start an Etsy store. I know online marketing is important but its such a drag if it takes me away from creating from my workbench. Hope you enjoy!

This is a closeup of a hei matau I finished recently. Saw it in my picture collection and decided to share. I gave it to my daughter but I liked it so much I think I'll make one for myself.
