It's not what you take a picture with. It's what you take a picture of!

Best of luck buddy.
If it's not too demoralising (he has made a career of it) check out Kerry Thompson - my personal inspiration.

play, but play seriously

Wow i actually thought i was alone in this
i didnt expect to find other people who would be interested in bone carving. I have been doing this a while i actually started using manual tools like files and cutters. but as you can imagine that doesnt give you much detail and my hands were blistered to hell. later i graduated myself to a rotary tool. i had very limited optionsfor tips so i could never get the detail work i wanted. now my rotary tool is almost dead and i want to graduate to a dremell i found a great set and oncei can save enough money i will buy it.

i don't want to sound too opinianated but you should be careful when handling bone. the dust is actually pretty bad for you so always work in a well ventilated area. if you use a rotary tool which eventually you will have to the dust gets everywhere, and i mean everywhere. the material is very fickle it is hard as nails and sometimes it seems like its indestructable but drop it on a stone surface and it will break from the weakest point.

all in all a well carved piece can last for a very long time there are Japanese bone carved lady combs for hair that are over 200 years old same could be found in China. of all the tools and weapons from ancient times bone retains its form and texture.

good luck and have fun if you need any pointers or anything as you can see i will be very happy to help

Always pass-on good advice, it's the only sensible thing to do with it.

i checked out the other two guys
and they have some amazing stuff just like you said.

i am a sucker for requests and favours i had a few opportunities to sell my stuff but i couldn't bring myself around to ask for money. i like giving my pieces out as gifts mostly.

i swear the dust has a mind of its own there is no way of controlling it. if you were working in a biohazard suit in level 5 lockdown room with negative pressure, that dust would find a way to get out and so would the smell.

that being the case i have accepted this in a very zen state of mind and learned to live with the dust and smell

take care for now
