Here is a recent project carved for VonTiki...it is a walrus tooth that he has carried in his pocket since he was a child, so there was absolutely no margin of error on this piece...it was a very special one-of-a-kinder and had to be a very special design!! You can see it has four seperate figures; two Marakihau conjoined by a tongue that interlaces three times, one of the figures shares a spiral arm joint that becomes a teko teko; the back morphs into a rauru crowning a manaia head. Seven very small inlays...      If you look closely at the rauru you will notice that it is one continuous line; represents eternity of the ocean. The Manaia and the Marakihau are receiving the Teko back into eternity..I knew this piece had to carry deep meaning as well...enjoy!

That is bewildering. Nice explanation / description on a very nice piece with sentimental value. Don't know how you do it! I saw one of you pieces at Gman's-great work.

My God BK, that's unbelievable! So much meaning and detail on such a small piece. Is there a strong odor when you carve these?

I saw VonTiki's uncarved walrus tooth at the carving gig. That's amazing what you have done with it - a very meaningful design.
