Hey happy TC'ers, thank's a lot for stopping here!
BiGT, thank's for the comp'! For the sawhorse (homemade) I can give you the blueprint... And for the signature, it was a sticker made by my buddy.. ( shameless advertising )... 
Surfin', thank you! After your big trip, you also have to be full of inspiration... Waiting, waiting your new work! 
Sensei carver! You have the eye of the expert. Thank you! 
Thank you Tom!
Yes, Bowie, lot of fun for the Tiki Tribe show, and this adventure will continue!
Wplugger, If my Lono sure looks good in that window is because it is surrounded by other stuff of great carver: Tikiller, Akuae, Baï, Benella, coxico and Joco. Thank you for comment!
Simon, thank you and greetings from France for you and Nina. 
Hey Craig! I hire you to clean my workshop when you want!  Thank's for reply!
Clarita, thank you too! Now the flower are gone and the fruits begins to come, wait a few more weeks...
With the sun of the last day, many things have flocked to the workbench, here the last pendants: An inspired maori figure in a wooden whale tooth form :
Have a nice day!
Jérôme.

That whale is really cool! Where do you find your inspiration or are these your own designs? Very nice stuff.

Darn, it's been awhile since I've been here Jerome and I'm Really loving your new stuff, especially the "inspired Maori figure in a wooden whale tooth form" that I'm Really, Really, Envious of, but All your stuff is always excellent and in fact I need you and that Seeks guy to Stop carving Lono's, you're making it really hard on me to compete and keep up!! 
Love the Shop Shots, beautiful work space, you KNOW what those photos do to me?

Lil' update on this thread before I go in the sun for some holiday next week...
Kon-Hemsby, thank's for support!
Amate, thank you also! I find inspiration through these forums, other website, also some books and sometimes it just comes ...
BenZ!!! "you're making it really hard on me to compete and keep up!" It's a joke?!?
I can not believe it especially when I see your latest work In particular with the delicacy of line and facial expressions ... Do not worry, you're far way ahead Sensei Carver. Thank's for comment!
I have not been too much to carving these last weeks, rather in exhibitions and mai tai, these are also things that go well! I still start a few things:
First, a little chip on a tiny panel Maori
some chiseling... Besides, the Tiki Tribe pendant, handcarved in walnut.
It is the first of a limited serie of eleven.
Have a nice day!
Jérôme.

'Bout time you did some honest work,, series of 11, does the mold break then??
The pendant looks great and the panel holds Lots of promise, but you think you could have found a Harder wood?
You getting familiar with the Dremel I see? Love it!
