I love the direction your art, especially the velvets, are taking. TikiG, I know you have a Dremel... hop to it! Your comments drive me to try different things. Tell everyone back in the Valley I said Howdy. Tikisbytyler, yes, your wife would have killed you! If she didn't kill you over the smell, she would have killed you over the amount of dust that was generated. Neptune Beach you say? We should try to find someone in Ormond Beach or Daytona to host a weekend chop & carve... Speaking of dust, when one carves bone, should you do it dry or wet? So far I have done most of it dry, sometimes on the 140 grit sanding I'll dunk the piece in water. The only time I have burned the bone is when I'm using the buffing wheel. Should I buff wet?
