Jerome my Friend, you are showing us youe Incredible carvings as if they were no big deal,, They are Way top shelf. That ebony tiki is looking so Comfortable and soft to wear, I could easily never take it off,,(24" cord please) and the pink ebony Koru is another perfect one. And behind the finished pieces are more incredible stuffs in the works.

Hi bro',
I'm with Benzo, those pieces are top shelf even if those would look better around my neck !
Seems like you're a sensei carver too.

Thanks, Jerome, for the great New Year Wishes and the same to you too!
Excellent addition to your carving tools and inlay material, can't go wrong with either.
Your year's worth of carvings has really been superior and it has been fun watching your skills improve thanks for sharing all that you do with us here on TC.
