Long time ago i started this traditional Maori "TekoTeko".
Today, after an endless period of sanding and staining ,i oiled the Tekoteko for the first time.
super smooth surface and wonderfull color!

I think it was a real mistake giving that guy a club.
He looks like he knows how to use it,
and would.

"The Discus" after staining twice and varnishing twice.
i stained it normal brown first but changed it to a darker stain.
It makes the eyes really pop out
it looks black but it actually is a very very dark brown, but i guess it doesn't`t matter :).
