Thanks all, appreciate the support.
Drum with stain, finally
Something for a bit of fun, A replica of a Hawaiian Tattoo Comb
with a bit of taro juice from the leaf on the handle. The entire length is about 5.5" It took a bit to figure out how to cut the long needles out of bone, but it is sharp.

Spectacular drum Johnny. I love the figures on the ends and your detail
work is always top notch.
The tattoo thing is pretty cool too but I'm pretty ignorant of tattoo. You
sure come up with some interesting stuff, I think we should name you

Johnny, top notch and authentic work as usual!
You always go the extra mile on your work and it shows.
Love the tattoo comb!
Who's the first victim?! 
I've seen video of that in use... I'm sure I wouldn't have the stones to go through that.
Are those logs still drying for the canoe? Any progress?
Winter is on its wayyyyy.....

Thanks for the photos Hodad. I hope he is successfully warding off all the obnoxious tourists.
There is a lot of wonderful working going on in this forum, I've been really swamped at work and then at home getting ready for winter so not much carving time or even computer time. But since Gman is back I guess my "strike" is over.
Remember this guy?
I rushed it just to get it done. I was a crappy piece of wood full of splits, soft spots, old worm holes, and chippy on top of it. I thought since it will never come out how I wanted, I'd just simplify it and get it done. Maybe I'll do it over sometime. This was based off and loosely frankenstined from something I found online. I went back to find the orginal broken picture and I started him over 2 years ago.
