Aloha to all!!!
TheBigT, mahalo for stoppin in my friend.
Thanks to all for stoppin by your all very kind.
Well the mask is all finished just have to put the back on it, so here are some pics. Some in low light to show you the lighting I've put inside the tiki so it POPs at Night and show a little more depth to the carving and the other pics with full flash to show how pretty the coconut grain is with the color added. Hope ya like,
Left side flash of surf scene.
Right side flash of surf scene.
NO Flash of right sied full. hope you can see the glow in the headress,nose nostrils and the tounge areas
left side NO flash glow in same areas.
close up left side No flash. I think the light makes the Wave Barrell sort of come alive.
Mahalo to all that stopped by I had FUN carvin this guy and thanks again for so many nice words in the past, Aloha, Mooney

Mahalo to all for the Nice words! Much appreciated.
I've got a few comm going so a bit busy now, but here is a mask with lights as well (3 lights). He was pretty stoked expecially when we turned out the lights and I lit it up! I hollowed thur the 2 waves on the headress,the nostrils and a big opening in the mouth, and each area has it's own light lighting it up. I always get a bigger kick out of a carving when I see someone else so stoked and happy!To me thats what it's all about making someone elses day.
Here are a few pics.
Mahalo to all for stopping by. Have a Great day, Aloha, Mooney
