A tweaked traditional Matau or fish hook design from synthetic stone! This classic design looks good in a range of materials and this latest addition to the range adds something new. It has been great to explore how this material holds form, sands and works under the tools! DM me with any questions and this one will be up on the website shortly!

A larger circle of life design from the synthetic stone! I wanted to see how the material was to carve with a more layered approach. I’m stoked with how it feels and
looks! This design blends negative space koru forms within the shape and I wanted a wave like pattern to add depth! She's been added to the website!

Something very different! Synthetic stone that mirrors marble! A very cool material to carve and i can’t wait to explore the range of colours it comes in! This matau or fish hook design has a great feel to it and some awesome patterning!

I haven’t done to many of the smaller forms as my aging hands don’t like the holding the smaller pieces! This wee double koru was sitting for a while before I dove in and got it sanded out… I like the flow on this connection and relationship design.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a beef bone design…. It’s a material that holds form so well and is great to work! With an extended block of time out off the water this design has an ocean connection.. Originally inspired after a bunch of encounters with sharks while surfing, this design reflects connection to the ocean and those creatures we share it with!

This oddly shaped piece of Wooly mammoth that limited what could be sketched and carved from her... After a lot of edits this wee Koru based form eventually popped out. Reflecting the search of knowledge, spiritual growth and peace... It will be going up on the website shortly with the other mammoth designs that were recently finished...

Wooly Mammoth is always an amazing material to work with. The weight of its age makes for a slower carving process.. Stoked on how this ocean guardianship design has come out ! Subtle patterning and a creamy colour makes this design a unique piece!

Filling voids and carving Stellers Sea Com bone! Always fun and I’m stoked with the patterning that develops… two variations on a form reflecting spiritual growth and guardianship! A couple of Wooly Mammoth designs are next and they’re new forms!
