What a relief to have the carving complete on this guy. I appreciate all the support and comments I have received from this guys creation. you guys know how to inspire and get me going, even on days where I don't think I can do anything at all, THANKS.

Hewey, thanks but I don't think I want a bite of his ear or nose or...

Hiltiki Much appreciated, Thanks.

Freddie, I'm not sure where the next Moko-Moai will be heading but I'll keep you Northern Lakers in mind, Thanks.

Tama, Thanks a Ton or More if possible. you have packed a years worth of inspiration into that statement.
How long do you want the neck cord? I guess I'll have to make it double strength :) :wink: :)
I can Honestly say I have packed every bit of my carving experience and knowledge into this Pakeha. He is full of love, respect and adoration and hours of playfulness added by the Ancients, who demanded that they be a part of this project.

"And a face that expresses it all; proud, strong, with perhaps a touch of sadness. A poignant pose that speaks for all native cultures in this fast-paced world. "

And he looks like he could crack a smile any minute now too. He will be talking to you at night or when it is quiet enough to hear him and he wants to be heard. I guess he has a story to tell and I hope he tells it to you.
I am proud to have you get this piece, the Mother of All Benzart Pieces.
Thanks again.
