Polynesian Inspired Bone Carvings

About 3 hours working an inner curve… I have a nice little pile of bone dust to show for it.

The first time in a few years that I’ve wanted to carve… I’m hoping I start “feeling it” again. #BoneCarving #BoneCarvings #SurfArt #UncarvedBones (at Havaiki Oceanic & Tribal Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coa3lw_OT7j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From Havaiki to Tonga (with a pit stop for a longer cord)… it always feels especially good when someone from a Polynesian country chooses to buy and wear my work. #BoneCarving #BoneCarvings #SurfArt #UncarvedBones https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXIHj-uvJu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
