Thanks, Benella, Tikigap, Kahaka & Sneaky!
Tried to take another pic without the flash today but it is still coming out darker than it actually is?
Here it is hanging out with his new friends.

Thanks Kahaka, Glad you like it!
Here's another Maori Thingy I am almost done with. It's a Commision piece. I usually dont show these, I let the buyer show them if they wish, But it's one of my personal best.

T-Mec, I'm Really glad you decided to show that last piece, it's Truly Excellent and I should hope the new owner appreciates the beauty of it.
Your "dark" stuff is Excellent too. Stick with the maori stuff, it suites you well

Andy, can we get a "dragontoothing" demo at the Chop? Your recent work is really looking tight.
