If you like dark Marquesan, see below... :wink: Also thank you Clarita! :) Amate! I hope to keep going like this! I hope also you copying my work one day!!! With your skills it should become something famous! :o Thank you seek! :) My trip Marquesan continues with two new pieces: Wall hanging Marquesan mask in willow, stained varnished Marquesan pendant made from water buffalo horn: work in progress next a curious black wood hook Polished With his pedestal remains to be done braiding and the toggle Here the first frosts are already there, a sign that the season of heavy work is completed, the workshop is stored for the winter but the tools can also quickly be back with the first ray of sunshine... Thank's for looking! Have a nice day! Jérôme.

GP Grand Poobah Member Reading, PA Joined: Dec 09, 2008 Posts: 234	GP Grand Poobah Posted posted on Mon, Dec 20, 2010 3:43 PM How is carving walnut? It would seem like it would be a difficult hardwood. I love the black & white pics. Nice work!
L laojia Tiki Socialite Metz Lorraine France Joined: Feb 04, 2009 Posts: 952	L laojia Posted posted on Sat, Jan 22, 2011 12:39 AM Hey Big T, thank's by stopping here! Some other "snoai" here. The snow has melted now but the cold is still here... For the adze, I am aware of the danger. I am trying to design a smaller one. Grand Poobah, for my part walnut is the wood for carving (in my country!). It is classified as semi-hard and the grain is held very well in the cut. This allows the details to work well and the finish is quite easy. The possibilities are great with the walnut and the grain is often superb. Some news from the bone carving side of the work shop before a wooden update soon: On the bench Stylised Hei matau New Hei tiki with paua eyes Thank's for looking! Have a nice day! Jérôme.
