Thanks for all the comments - looks like I just lost my lengthy reply I had typed out! :x
So, we'll have to go with the condensed version:
Nearly all work on the tusk was done with the point carver (chuck mounted on the bench grinder) with fine tuning from the handpiece. The tool grade argillite is unforgiving with scratches and it took many repeat sandings to get the flow and surface looking just right.

New stuff.....
