I've just sent four beautiful carvings up to Kura Gallery (Lower Albert St) in Auckland. They'll probably arrive in the next day or two. Two whale tails - one large (about 1.3m high) - both carved out of very different looking tawhairaunui (red beech). Also a very large bowl made from tawhairanui burr wood with a paua insert, and a very nice middle size (about 600 high) matau (fish hook) once again tawhairaunui with a flax cord and a very nice piece of pounamu (jade) as a sinker.
Cheers.
Paddy.
