Hi All,
What a wondrous group you are! I am thrilled to be asked to join your group - the work you do is second to none. I have been working in splendid isolation for the past decade or so, and appreciate this chance to share with others who work in media and ways similar to my own. Here is a link to some of my own works in progress, executed in antler and ivory. Enjoy! Shane

Welcome Shane!

I enjoyed visited your website. Good work! Particularly a carving in
moose antler - it's grandiose!

Thank you for sharing!

PS. Moose antler is a porous material inwardly as and a deer antler, or
no?

Yes and no. Moose antler is porous inside, but the porous parts tend to be much denser than deer or elk antler. I think the tines or pointy parts are uniformly dense in all antlers.

Nice work Shane! I really like the vivid, contemporary feel to your works. That poster for a show in Europe with the skull carving is gorgeous.
