AS Promised Here I will post pictures of the Benzart/Gecko Thick-Hot Lava Moai Bowl. I apologize but there will be a few photos.
First the Little guy, Here are all the burs I used ion him. There may be 1 or 2 more but basically this izzit. The first shot, he's sitting om a little bean bag which sometimes helps keep these little guys from jumping away.


Next, here are most of the small Dental burs that I'm using on these small guys. They are 1/16th" and 3/32 but most are 3/4 to one inch long. There are some normal sizes They are pretty cheap too on eBay, look for the dental tools and supply.

And of COURSEE there is a Fine bladed Hook Knife and the magnifier Glasse here.


Next some shots of the Holding procedure. You might be able to see that I'm holding the guy with 2 left fingers being supported on that bench dog or beanbag. What you might overlook is the hand which holds the handpiece also has a finger (ring finger usually)sticking out and pressing against the piece too. SO Between the bench dog, beanbag and 3 fingers he stays pretty steady and you can constantly be moving him around as needed:


NEXT What you have been waiting for, seen briefly a few times in fleeting shots: The Gecko/Benzart Thick Lava Bowl with the expensive ,fancy glaze. Next week or so Geck should have some on his ebay site but with the more reasonable glazes.


Well thats enough for now, it's only taken me 4 hours. Cheers.
