Thank you Laz.
You know your Japanese carvings, Impressive.
The Namahage comes from the most north island.
He has a job.
He keeps small children & cry babies in check &
the public in general in line, morally.

Moving on.
Here's a pendant going to Oasis.

This is a Moai style muddler.
It was a ballester [I guess] & I carved into
the angle to make the nose pop out.

So the Moai muddler is done.
That should make one fly tying dude happy.

Next up a new frond.

Some one gave me the idea to carve table lamps.
The small Mai-Kai kind.
I thought, how many could I possably carve like that?
So I carved this one.

Then I made a fiberglass mold of it.



Then I made these.


We think the shade is
a shade too small.

I do have a SET OF flex chisels , i have had them for over a year , they are dull now and i usualy just use all power tools replacing the chisel with sabur tooth bits, but i see that the quality comes from chisels much cleaner , I like chisels when i carved ice but i have gotten away from them when i started carving palm and wood. I am going to look at that and use a little more chisel work , thanks for posting it is a inspiring will carve

Christie has a Witco chair & a funky wire bottom ottoman.
She wanted to recover it like the chair &
I thought I could go one better.

of the Mai-Kai next to Bobs picture.
