Tiki Duddy, thanks for dropping by!

Clarita, I try and try... thank you.

Basement Kahuna, thanks for the compliment.

Bowana, thank you for the kind words.

Benzart, so right, time to get some carving done.

Not much of an update today, just a couple of pieces I've been working on here and there. I'm not sure if its some sort of planetary alignment or what, but I've ruined more bone the past couple of weeks than I have finished. You peeps ever have one of these dry spells?

First up is what I call a contemporary hook. It doesn't really follow any particular style, but might pass for something Hawaiianish.

Cow bone with black cord.

Vents! Can't have too many of them. Am I right, or am I right? This was fairly porous, but sort of like the final outcome.

This was just a chunky piece of bone, so I wanted to work with it's thickness. A bit blurry.

Next is a circular pendant, I still need to decide how to run the cord.

I decided to try a Hawaiian relief on this. Adding to the Hawaiian vibe, I decided to make the sides and edges take on a lava-like look.

Little teef...

Smoothed out back...

And a bit smaller than what I usually make.

Thanks for looking!
