Avocado? Very nice Bill! Looks like you're fitting right in over there in Hawai'i. We'll miss you in the carver's villiage at Oasis

Your stuff has really been looking superb since your move. I'm a fan of everything Marquesan.

I really appreciate all the kind comments!
So I did a little more to the eyes on this one. A friend and neighbor works with shell to create pendants, and I had him cut me a pair of eyes from some Tahitian black mother-of-pearl. I then inlaid them and added a little detail to get this. Now it's really done!
and a front view of the whole tiki
