Few days leaving and I find a full wagon of killing bone carving when I'm back!!!
You are incredible! :D


I don't know how to braid, so I didn't attempt a 3-plait braid here, just the single strand for around the neck. I'm not sure how anyone learns this stuff from things on the Internet. Those diagrams are confusing as hell.

Very sharping hook! Nice carve... For the four braid I've the same problem: not enough fingers! :x

During my vacation, I met people of NZ. The woman wearing this beauty:

She said it was carved by one of these friends. This is a very fine and very well done. I am sure you are qualified to carve this kind of thing ... (Sorry for crappy pics, take during a gig on the skirt of the lady...)
Maybe I'll try a version in wood.
This beautiful piece is a challenge, you will be tempted?
