Very very cool. Each coat of oil is adding a bit more. Mr. Lono already has so much style, can't wait to see where he goes. |

MBL - DUDE! Thanks. JohnnyP - Hello back Mr. P. Different directions....same path. I wanted to finish him tonight, still can, but I'll likely want to spend a bit more time on him. It felt good to start fresh after being held down by all the small work on the last guy. Aloha - I'm working.....I'm working...... Flat Black - Thanks man. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do much more with the headdress... Here are some pics from this afternoon: -G$ |

FBalls - Thanks. Howzitt? Seeks - I haven't been hiding this guy, I started him last Sunday. Benz - Oh my....he's nekkid! Sorry mate, I had to go with what I wanted. If I do another I will give him a complicated headdress. I really wanted this guy this way. Conga - Nope, I wasn't kidding :D Sorry if you no likee..... Benella - Don't cry???? I posted some new pics below. Robin - Yeah, speedy. I needed a less involved project to work on. It's really nice to bang something out every once in a while. Working on this one made me very happy. Here are some pics of Lono with his first coat of stain: -G |

nice work Gman, after toiling for months on the big beauty, you knock out an equally cool one in next to no time, in a totally different style - that must be quite satisfying! |

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the comments. I still may go back and do more to his headress, but for now I'll let him sit. It was too rainy and wet to put the last oil coat on the big teko so I started chipping into another log. Some of you may have seen this fellow before - he is in the Hawaiian Sculpture book. I thought he would be fun to try. Now that he is blocked in I can start thining him down and getting all the meat off of him. :D -G$ http://www.oceanandislandarts.blogspot.com/ [ Edited by: GMAN 2008-02-23 14:23 ] |

Conga - Here is some "progress" for ya. I guess I have a knack for some things...mostly a knack for getting in trouble though... Seeks - Thanks Bud. He's gonna take a while as he'll be all chisels and the pins, plates, and screws in body get to hurting after too much chipping. Robin - Howdie hey? I thought he would be interesting too. We'll see... Hewey - Thanks! Tikifreak - YES, it has begun. How it will end, nobody knows :lol: TikiSharkArt - I'm glad you approve. Thanks for swinging through. JohnnyP - Don't we all! Bzart - :D MBL - Dude!..... Marcus - Thanks man! Where you bean? Benzo - :( Bowana - Thanks man. Yes, this guy will be a headstander! Here are some progress pics of the Hawaiian and Maori inspired figures:
This one is for Bowana: This guy is very close to being finished.....
