This is fun, but challenging for me. For one thing you can't add material back if you take off too much like you can with clay :D

Still needs more polishing but I have a couple more questions;

If I don't want to drill a hole in his forehead to hang him as a pendant, what are my other options? Can I epoxy a ring to the back? I would have left a bone loop on the back but didn't have enough thickness.

Can I use a cloth wheel & polishing compound/rubbing compound or will that stain the bone?

EDIT - I just picked up a deer antler, does it carve just like bone?



We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die.
