No worries, Tama, them is "tiki toes" - count 'em . . . hard as rock!

But, Paipo, I don't understand the comment about restoring the rough rock appearance. Where? And could you explain?

There were some areas that were ground away to get the form I wanted, but I then wanted to blend back into the rough stone to enhance the impression of the tiki emerging/growing organically from the rock.
Visually it is still not quite there (you can see it looks "softer" than the surrounding stone), so I might hit it a couple more times and see what happens. But it's not too far off...it is supposed to be transitional between the two surfaces (worked and unworked) after all.

PS Trust me, you don't wanna see a closeup of the "tiki toes" (oh, look, there they are again!)

PPS thanks Jen and T
