After the tour, Jack took us to his nearby studio to show (and sell) us his carvings, and treating us to some bananas he grew. Apparently he now works exclusively in ebony since that's what most tourists want. In addition to pendants, he has some interesting sculptures and other pieces, such as a wavy hairpin following the shape of the root its carved from, with one end terminating in the shape of the head of a penis. Apparently, this was shown at the World Expo in Shanghai.
