Update: No real good news carving wise for Hewey. In short, noone local supplies wood carving knives. The ones I have bought just dont cut wood. Boxcutters and the like. I have found a supplier who has quality tool supplies, but haven't been able to make the time to get there yet. No room for a larger project requiring a chisel, so no wood carvings yet.

The moai twins are still sitting abandoned in the garden, I havent bothered to give em anymore attention. The local pigeons have decided to leave their marks on its head. True art critics who leave no confusion as to their thoughts. No candy coated feedback there.

Worst of all, "number 1" has toppled over and broken.

Got home tonight, and itd fallen over and the force broke it in 2 pieces, split about an inch over the mouth (just above the nostrils). The bottom half will be carved up into a smaller tiki, the top half will be slightly buried in the garden at an angle to give it that fallen idol look.

Note for future: Stabilise AAC tikis a little more.
