Tikisbytyler, if we keep pushing each other, sooner or later one of us is going over the edge without a barrel. Thanks.

GMAN and Creative Chimp, thanks for the comments. This piece was fun, and it actually forced a little patience out of me.

So I was talking about going smaller, and had a few scraps of bone handy. I find that I'm not throwing anything out just yet. I had bought some hardware at the store, but didn't really know what is was for until I knew what it was for.

So this little guy is 1.38" long and 1" wide overall.

Getting symmetry on this pair was a real pain, literally. My hand was cramping so badly as I tried to keep them back-to-back and from moving around as I used the Dremel. I guess some soft-jawed clamps are one of my future purchases.

The first wahine to give me her room key at Hukilau... just kidding. :P I didn't know I was going to make earrings until they were done. After I did the first one I thought to myself, "Wow, that's too small now."
