Cool, Hank!
I thought I remembered some sort of Marquesean pattern carved into the wing, is it on the other side?

Wonderful carve Hank!
Love the color to this piece and the aged look.
Also like how you utilized the log with the branch below.
Very creative!

Ficus?!! I heard here in the east, Ficus is lame to carve. Wonder if it's different or not.

Gracias. I'll leave the drums to Buzz. It's a palm ashtray comish for a major smoker. Plenty of work left here. It'll sit on the porch and have either a tin or brass hammered bowl in the top w matching eyes. Either mahogany or redwood stain or a blend of both. What do you guys think? Ben?
Yes Al. Customized Burro's are our business and business ia a-boomin'! Just select your design style (Tahitian, NZ, Hawaiian, etc.) and we'll get on it ASAP. Specify height 18", 24" or 29". Burros are pre-pay and pick-up only.
Right now I'm finishing a long overdue 2-D project for Onatiki's, some microtangs for hand excercise, a micropng for an upcoming special event and my most used tools of the season...
Thanks for looking. Happy new year all.
