Thanx a lot Tama, your advice really helped, as a matter of fact i didn´t get rid of the piece but modified it, it isn´t just what i wanted but it dind´t turn out so bad. I´m really happy to have joined this forum where people want to share...talking about sharing i think you´ll be a little disapointed because i haven´t carved tiki pieces ...so far..., i´ve been working on pendants and a bear that doesn´t look like it but i´m on the way, i will upload some pieces soon so you can give me your opinion.

Hi Zita ,
sounds like you made a good recovery there with that piece .
Another way , if the design lends to it , is to glue another medium too it , and finish the piece as you intended .
With bone , you could try a hardwood . It carves and polished just as well .
Horn , antler , stone , also .
String binding and lashing can do the same.
The old adage ,
"If you can't hide a join , make a feature of it "
still holds true.
