yeah, you killed Kenny(the hei-tiki?)
Go to Harbor frieght and get the little pack of abrasive rubber point burs. They come in a pack of 5 or 6 for a couple bux. Use those for hard to get too spots. You can also look for "Cratex" rubberized abrasives which come in a few shapes and grits.

Thanks all! Ben, I'll be looking for those abrasive bits this week. I think there is even a Harbor freight near us.
I spent a good chunk of yesterday adding the suckers to my octopus. Lot's of work to do yet, but it should be worth it. 
Thanks for looking!

 My wife asked me the same thing while I was hunched over with my glasses off, squinting with my dremel in my hand. I've got to get me one of those magnifiers!
Thanks also Hewey and Gman, I can always count on you guys.
Here is another I did today. This is the last piece I'm going to make from the white bone, since I like the way the smoked bone finishes so much better.
I worked a bit more on the octopus too. He's gone through a pretty intense tea bath and polishing.
As always, thanks for looking!

Gman, Thanks a ton! I'm having a lot of fun now with these.

That eel is awesome! Love the poses/outlay of this latest stuff, looks great!
How about something like an eel or a snake wrapped around a tiki? Sounds like one of Tiki Shark Arts paintings!
