Ben! that marquesian cracks me up!
He looks like the stereotypical "supply sergeant" in all the old WW II movies!
Glad to see you're back in action again. Can't wait for more pictures...

He really is cool, Ben. Sorry to keep comparing the carvings to famous people, but have you been watching any Ernest Borgnine movies lately?

Very cool, Ben. He looks like he could be anything from an old west outlaw to a New Jersey longshoreman to a Detroit Teamster. Lots of character in that chunk of wood!

Thanks BF. Here is a new one I have been working on for awhile. The wood I think is "Macassar Ebony" a sister to True African Ebony.It is Very hard and looks black unless well lighted. It is about 3 " tall with lacquer finish. I had to depart from the Maoris for a few days.

This next guy is almost done. A few morechips, lines, clean-up and lacquer and he is done.This Moko has taken longer than ever because of the depth and dimension.
I'll say it first..He looks a bit like Shrek??
