Aloha guys,

Thank you all for your nice entries.
I´m happy about, you enjoy my last entry works.

Paipo, your story is crazy! :lol:
To eat fast food in the south sea is not a realy romantic.
I think like you, it´s the same thing all over the world.
"People always want what they can't get!"

Myself, I life in Bavaria with mountains, grasslands, beer gardens....
but I´m dreaming to visit the sea side and the exotic islands.
One of the important thing of the Tiki culture. To dream about something what you can't get.
But not KFC on the Cook Islands!

Lake Surfer, I don´t know it exactly,
but I think the Lono´s weight is about 80 kg (176 pound). Cottonwood isn´t very heavy, but I think it´s enough.

benella, thanks for the museum link. If I´ll visit Paris one time, I´ll visit the "Musée du quai branly ".
Come on, please post your Moai pictures on TC.
Everybody starts small, like myself. Anybody can by perfekt on his first piece.
Look always out for interesting carving pictures.
Start to copy easy figures and get the right felling for forms, tools and materials.
Than try to create some own forms and combine them.
Try it again and again and again and you´ll see, you´ll catch me quickly.

Tamapoutini, you are right! Time, effort , heart, blood, sweat and tears are enough causes to be complimentary.
I admire all artists, witch start to create something and realize their own ideas. On this time, hats off!
And after that we can discuss about the artworks. What is felicitous and what could me make better.

surfintiki, I don´t know for what I´ll use the crocodile wood yet?
Perhaps, for a pendant??? To carve something, where I don´t loose the interesting bark would be nice.
This time I don´t have an idea.

Mahalo to all!
