Benjamin, thanks for the kind words. The inlay is a pain, but I can't stop doing it.

Surfintiki, thanks for the comps! My pieces are far from perfect, but it helps me manage my OCD by trying to get rid of all the tool marks. :lol:

A another whale tail done, this one with a big curve in the tail.


This piece of bone was very porous on one edge, but I think I like it. Sort of hard to see in this picture.


I tried something different with this piece, used black cord instead of the natural cord. You like? I also split the braid, I think it works.
