Impressively outstanding work. The detail in your carved mo'o is unbelievable. Makes my hands cramp just looking at them & imagining the time & hard work invested. Your tiny frog made me cringe even more. Please tell us Benzo, how do you do it? Is there some sort of hand, finger stretching exercises you do before every carving session? When I make little pieces, I'm always dropping them or the machine yanks them out of my giant hands.

Hi Ben,
Ok, obviously superbe work, and the tekoteko, left me speechless, it's a design I'm always amazed by, but it is outside of my comfort zone...but when I see work like yours...man I have to try, thanks for giving me the kick
