Thanks Hewey, I would love to see pics of #1 in action!  I still think that guy is my favorite of all my stuff. It's good to know he's with some one who appreciates him. 
Note to Benzart: Expect some new pics from me later tonight.

Here is a hook I carved for Polynesiac. The engraving looks a bit uneven in the pics, but that's because they're wrapped around the contour of the hook. It didn't show well for some reason.
I think I'm going to work on a couple of wooden tikis again. I might be able to gain some ground on Benzart while he works on some stone.

Finkdaddy, you are really doing great stuff with the hooks, pendants and the
wall candy. Whenever I see your new creations I am more proud of the "early"
Finky that I have. It was a hit at Coontiki.

Thanks for the kind words Conga. I think the shark-tiki you have was the last one I did before I started buying micro-knives, so he's the last really big pendant I did.

Hey, thanks Ben and Gman. Last night I finally bought a couple of super tiny engraving bits, so hopefully from now on my lines wont look so uneven. I don't know what I'm going to do yet with the wood, I just figured it would be nice to change it up a bit.

Hang in there guys, I've something in the works that I think you'll enjoy, and no, it doesn't involve cheese.

That looks like porcelain. It will be nice to see some wood carvings, but you are kicking butt with the hooks, don't give them up.

Don't worry, as Benzart says, I'm hooked on the hooks. There's just a wood project I want to try and finish before Christmas.
Thanks for the kind words!
