Thanks Shaman, You just say that about All my stuff, I think You're prejudiced? More in a few days :)

Duddy, Thanks,, you know these guys Gotta Eat too, it wouldn't be fair not to give them a tooth or two. I DID have a strange feeling carving teeth from a big tooth!

Howland, Thanks, You're too FUNNY! Carving these guys out thin is a habit left over from the jewelry days when U did use a micrometer to get down to 1mmthickness for gold and 2mm for silver with 3mm for pewter. For This stuff(bone/tusk) all I use is a goose-neck lamp to see the thin and thick spots. Where the light showing through is bright I stay away from and only carve the dark areas.
Thanks for the good luck with Ike and it MAY be working as today they say it will cross south Miami. Of course tomorrow will be another landfall and Sunday they may find it fizzled in the Caribbean somewhere only to start up again and whollop New Orleans as a possible cat 12o who knows?? :P
I See Hannah heading your way this weekend , a minimal storm now but may gather strength to hurricane ststus, so get ready to Hunker down and ride it out. :D Heres hoping she isn't much more than a bother!
