Hey Akuae, Tama, JohnnyP and surfintiki!

Thanks for your entries. Sadly, I haven´t carved new avocado tikis yet.
I´m still working on our new Forbidden Paradise website and on a time-consuming piece
for the Hukilau Artshow. More about that next week!

Now the avocado figures are realy hard like oak- or cherry- wood.
In front of they level off and in the back they warp a little bit.
There is now a little recess, but I think it doesn´t matter.

Cause the seeds are now hard, you can grind them very well and I also think you can definitely
stain them. Perhaps I can make some new tests next week.

Kai


I already started with the grinding at the little Moai.
