Kia ora everyone.

Surfintiki, Hewey, Tikiwahine: thanks for following, really glad you found it interesting! So nice to grab some fresh ears/eyes (theyve all heard it around these parts),teehee

Benz: Im sure I could sit just as contentedly watching you guys working on the big stuff! I have done a bit of limestone carving in the past & just love to stand over the work, spin it round, walk around it & put a bit of muscle into it. Working on this small stuff can get a bit boring, haha. Id really love to tool up for marble or granite sculpture one day -Now THAT would be something!!
*I know the rubber/abrasive points you are referring to but havent tried them... After yakking with Paipo a few days ago I may also revisit the use of 'sanding sticks' (cut-down grinding stones) which do much the same thing. Its a sad fact of economics that we sometimes have to streamline our technique/approach...
*Was just this morning given some 'hassles' in regard to a Maori/Hawaiian 'fusion' hei-tiki. Most discouraging...

*Not wanting to annoy anyone by posting this here but: the lovely lady just featured is currently listed on eBay, along with another wee guy. (I havent sussed the marketplace yet, but will keep it to there from now on) *Discount for TCers who can answer the simple question..?

Another wee fella in the beginning stages...

Take care all. T3
