Aloha from sunny Alicante, Spain. My name is Guillermo and I've just gotten started on bone carving of all sorts. Found your forum through Google.

I have no previous carving experience and started as part of therapy after watching a couple of videos on youtube (Louie The Fish, Rick Gunter and Santi aka Antipodart) and was immediately hooked -never better said!

I decided that my first project should be a sea turtle following Rick Gunter's tutorial and I have thoroughly enjoyed it! Second has been a tiger claw and will continue practicing. Here's a small (and terrible) clip of the turtle just prior to finishing: http://youtu.be/P1apN58NRPU?list=UUE7Z3_YKW9ApH9qVLASpdsQ

And hope you can see these photos:

I have several tools that I use for other interests that will be useful: typical Dremel and flex shaft, another "generic" no brand Dremel look-a-like (but much more powerful!), a micro motor set, and lots and lots of burs (diamond and TC).

Hope to make new friends and learn more things here with you guys and share my experience with you.

Thanks.
