Anybody try this art? This is some antler carving I was doing a couple years back. It is an Elk horn relief carved entirely with a dremel tool and sander. I have no idea how long this took me but months! I am doing a little chainsaw work now I'll post after completion in another thread. I had no formal training just a creative mind and as an avid artifact hunter that gave me the inspiration..Would love to hear your comments and see your art work as well..thanks for the views...DD

I made horn pipes 30 years ago, horn smokes real cool and smooth. Looks good.

I'd like to show some pix of the detail that can be acheived with carving bone because of its density..it is very hard and with high speed tools you can get to minute detail..of course I have to wear magnifying glasses to do this..DD
