Also here is another recently completed Maori image in Walrus bone (Thanks to my good friend Cabanilla!). I love the texture of this material. I left the rather ancient looking back as it was...This one was made for Bete; the previous for Doubravsky!

Thanks for sharing your work BK.
I know, in the past you've done detailed work on larger carvings but I had not seen you working on smaller stuff till recently. Is this a new direction for you?

More Excellent BK Work for some Lucky TC'rs. You're really getting this Bone carving down pretty well.

Again thanks! Ben-looking forward to learning/sharing some tricks in two weeks! Jungle-It's another facet but I'll always be doing something in log form! Have a 4-foot Tongaroa right now..should be done soon.

Your work is outstanding and inspireing. Makes me want to try to carve smaller objects. The little bit of detail work I have done makes me appreciate your talent even more.

Thanks, Johnny, G,Marcus, and Cab! CM-I have to thank you again for the material start....the walrus is my favorite thus far. I'd love to do you a piece in Sperm Whale...the Minke whale is nice stuff with a great, ancient mana and color, too. And props on bone carvings coming from a true master like yourself mean a lot to this old wood chiseler! I'll PM you in a jif! Aloha!

New Tongaroa born today! He's 4 feet tall and about 14 inches in diameter. One of my favorite Cook Island images. I may bring him to Coontiki just for some scenery! I'm loaded to the hilt with comissions right now, so Tonga was sort of my "spare time" carve for a while. Aloha!
