Thanks for the warm welcome back... it feels like I never left 
Cheers Jérôme, Dave (right on!), hewey, Ernie, conga, Kinny, Ben, Benjamin, BigT, C'Al (that hoop is getting plenty of use...great way to unwind from "carver's cramp"!) and TikiG...I feel like buying all of you a drink...or giving you a hug...or something! I promise to catch up on what everyone else has been making in due course...
Here is the "TBC" part of the post above...the 1st piece out of the new workshop.

Right! Back to the workshop for me....

I'm SO glad to see you around again, your new workshop seems great! and what wonderful carvings I want them all!! sigh.... i really hope you'll stay around, you are SO talented, and informed about the cultures and artifacts, about the stones, about carving... if you give up.. what the hell am i doing around, hm? don't do this to me, please! (just kidding...) but know you are important to me.. I know is weird and dumb , but it's true... you have a fan (and friend) very very far.....
I know , I know, what ever...
Keep rocking! (please..)

A Revizit here shows how well this guy is done,,,Lookit that Eye, Perfect, just Perfect and it didn't come that way,,, PAIPO filed down and shaped the puple to get the effect where he wanted it,,looks better than just a little slab of paua shell? I think so.
Also I love the textured bottom level rather than grinding all the way through, it adds an extra dimension to the piece. As for the design and material,,, Typical PAIPO Greatness.
PAIPO,,PAIPO,,PAIPO
HAPPY,,HAPPY,,HAPPY
