Brian I Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Heya and welcome. I also carve bone (This is something I've made from beef bone : http://www.thecarvingpath.net/forum/index.php?/topic/2595-first-work-on-forum-bracelet-piece-in-bone/ ). I really love the finish you can get with bone and a high polish. Where you can just see the patterns in the bone under a kind of transparent uppermost part. Nice hook : ) I've also made one but I've not photographed it yet. Do you use a carbide rotary thing for the roughing out work? What is the second object? -Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonecarverpaul Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi Brian Nice to meet you!! I had a look at your carving ..Great work you do !!! I like the two tone effect you have done . Ive only started carving recently so im new to this kind of thing I use a rotary tool with different burrs.. i tend to stick to tungsten carbide burrs especially Tyrolit brand as these seem to be best for bone from what i have noticed so far . The second one was just practicing doing funky arrowheads .I have done a few and sold a few also latley which is good. I will upload more pics tomorrow as i have done a few the past few weeks Look forward to seeing your hook !! What do you use to get the finish on your work ? Ive been using micromesh.Great stuff!!
