Fer me looks like about an hour lecture each on various stuff (Maori and Marquesan art and techniques), an hour hands-on lesson on aging carvings, an hour w/demo on weapons with pass-out source sheets and detailed how-to sheets, and a whole weekend of any sort of question the folks wanna ask me about anything carving.

Aloha! I just wanted to check in again and say that for the "off time" parts through the weekend I am going to cut a couple of extra blanks for some fijian clubs and will be working on one of them off and on..If anyone wishes to work along with me for some extra hands on/visual, then that will be there. You'll need to purchase a small spoke shave (Marbles brand if available, but any quality small wooden shave will do). I may bring an extra log as well just for kicks! Sunday I'll teach everyone how to make something like Sali "one" on the top look like Sali "two" on the bottom...I also will be giving a treatise on Maori and Marquesan art along with some good pass-outs that should serve all the attendees well as source materials for quite some time. It will be a lot crammed into three hours but it should be very useful. One week away! Looking forward to meeting you all.

Wow BK, I can't wait either. I want to learn more about the Maori stuff, Happyhappyhappy,..
I finished up 19 of the 1/2 carved lesson pieces today and here they are.

There are 19 of them and they are all different. Some may be more difficult than the others. Have Fun, or you don't get to keep them. Don't cut off any fingers as the maoris will eat them for breakfast.

You guys blow me away.
Ben - 19 of them? 2 hours each? Amazing. Simply amazing.
BK - I wanna check out the fijian clubs too. I wonder if I can get the right knife at the wood working store in TN... Do you already happen to know if they would be available there? I'll have to ask Swanky about that.
I think I'm catching on to this 'happy happy happy' thing!
