Thanks very much Conga, life is what I try to put in these little pieces of wood and that's the hardest to do.
Update today on the maori warrior:
And a Hei matau out of basswood.
This one is a gift for the birthday of a super nice friend you all heard of here on TC, he's a famous french pendant maker now!
I'm late for it but this hook is close to be finished:
Hope he'll enjoy it !
Mahalo,
Benjamin.

Cool! the maori warrior is coming to life.
Humm must be the other French dude that had a B-day.
Always a open camp spot for you guys @ the tiki bog.

I have to learn to read a little more carefully. I though you actually intended to add those details to your carve. With all respect to Benzart I kinda like him without the crosseyes!

Seek: Thanks (2 times)
Grand Poobah: Yep cross eyes are not class, but I can tell my wife liked this piece with the benz'touch !
Here is what happened last week end in a small town where the Tiki Tribe came :
Almost 5 footer guy:
And here is how it happily finished:
Mahalos,

Thanks for the picture,

Hey!!!
Congrats Ben for this carving!
Congrats Jimmy for the new tenant in your tiki bar!
You should have waited until the emotion is gone before taking the photo, she is a little fuzzy.
See ya bro'!
