Hi GMAN, You OK, Be good!

Paipo, Yes, Don't leave that window open so long. SOOOO it was Your fault this guy took so long, Thanks lol
Bullet, yeah, No goin' On and On and On (except for me.) I will make sure to make you one before they are gone.
Jonesey, Thanks,
G-PooBah, Thanks for the kind words, Yes I have the patience of a Saint, Wait a minnit, I AM a Saint? Ha! Thanks,
Big T, Thanks Muchly
Thanks TikiG, I usually have to carve these bones over a light anyway so I can avoid going all the way through so it is easy to grind until all looks the same . I started thinning the bones out so they wouldn't weigh 20 pounds, then the light carving then the backlight photos, thats how that all happened.
Amy, Thanks for youe constant support, Much appreciated.
Clarita, there you go again, bribery will get you everything. Oh yeah, it's supposed to be Nothing.
Johnny it's the Magnifiers, without those I'm blind, they turn a tiny space into a giant place.
Thanks GMAN, I Was but decided to come back and finish this guy. 
Whereizzit? Right here
Hank, it IS in the Air!!
Thanks Seeks, yeah, 5 whole inches long, Giant by any standards.
Seeks AGAIN? Thanks Again
Jerome, Thanks, Glad you like the final thing. Didn't think I'd ever get here did'ja?
Jonesey, Thanks, I'm Really glad you like this guy since it has your name onnit.
T-Mangop, Thanks I'm glad he's finally done, (Darn that Paipo! : ) The tiny toggle only took a little while. Somewhere along the line I thought it would be neat to carve the toggle a little bit. Wrong Move! Now I can't send a plain one.
So I guess you've all seen these Pictures:
HOWEVER, These you Have NOT seen yet.

Jerome, Thanks, Dare to say anything you like, this one will be yours soon. Glad you like him.
GMAN, Whadd'ya mean I can't draw,, those lines are just Hen scratching so I know whee to with the Real drawing tool, the micromotor and bur, that's MY brush and pen. The Other stuff just washes away to be forgotten forever, leaving just the carving. But Thanks, I Did see the comp in there. 
Thanks BigT, I guess you just never know what I'm going to surprise you with next is what you are saying? That's because I never know which piece of what I'm gonna make into that. I like surprises.

Ben, this is the sweetest piece you've carved in a long time (no disrespect to any of your other pieces implied). The tightness and flow of the surface decoration is INSANE. Now you gotta do the same on that tusk, but better...
